Mena Guerrero’s practice encompasses a wide range of media and materials, spanning from pictorial and multisensory installations filled with objects, sounds, and scents, to participatory elements, performance, voice, and poetry. Her work explores the body, memory, and nature as foundational elements of a personal worldview.

Her work constructs an imaginary realm in which landscape, family heritage, and daily rituals are inscribed in the material and transformed over time. Each material, gesture, and installation functions as an affective apparatus that endows her work with magical, spiritual, and ritualistic qualities, articulating a syncretic universe. The configuration of her plural identity is interwoven as a genealogy linked to life, memory, the earth, and the territory. Motifs, iconography, textures, and colors give shape to an expanded, sensitive, and playful pictorial language that opens up to the viewer as an invitation to feel through the body and to remember.

Mena Guerrero began her training as a jazz singer at the Maastricht Conservatory, where she studied from 2016 to 2018. Later, in 2024, she earned a bachelor’s degree in transdisciplinary arts from the self-directed learning program at Michael Polanyi College at Francisco Marroquín University in Guatemala City.

Her work has been exhibited at venues such as LAC–Collection Jean Michel-Attal (France), Fondation Fiminco (France), Ifa-Galerie Stuttgart (Germany), Museo Ixchel (Guatemala), the Spanish Cultural Center in Guatemala, and La ERRE (Guatemala). In 2022, he won first prize in the Open Gallery competition at the Municipal Cultural Center of Guatemala and the Flotador Grant for emerging artists from TEOR/ética in Costa Rica. In 2024, he was an artist-in-residence in the FABRIQUE program at Fondation Fiminco in Paris.
