Life and education
Diana Salazar was born in Mexico City in 1972. She began her art studies at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas (today the Facultad de Arte y Diseño) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (acronym in Spanish, UNAM), earning her bachelor’s in 1994 and her masters in art history at UNAM in 1999. As an undergraduate, she specialized in painting, photography and gravure printing. Her masters thesis was “De la foto a la pintura, Influencias de la visión fotográfica en la mirada pictórica.” These studies were supported by the Jóvenes Creadores scholarships she received in 1995-1996 and 2000-2001, along with one from the UNAM Foundation.
In 1999, she went to teach Spanish in Paris for a year at the Academie d Créteil under contract with the French Ministry of Education. While in France she created a series of paintings based on life in Paris which resulted in an exhibition and a printed catalog.
She is currently studying for her doctorate in art and design at the Facultad de Arte y Diseño with her thesis tentatively entitled “Desarrollo de un seminario de pintura Contemporánea. Propuestas en torno a la enseñanza de la pintura” (Development of a seminar in contemporary painting. Proposals for painting design) .
She currently lives in Mexico City.
