AMPARÍN SERRANO ESPINOSA's Birthday

The artist Amparín Serrano Espinosa, born on October 31, 1965, described herself as a witch because of her constant connection to and relationship with the night, imagination, and creativity.

Her mother, Amparo Espinosa Rugarcía, wrote a piece dedicated to her daughter Amparín. It recounts her birth on a very special day when witches fly together at night. In this piece, she mentions the gift with which Amparín was born—a gift that “…had a touch of magic and a great deal of imagination: she had the power to create universes and draw new worlds.”

Lubaina Himid
Lubaina Himid (Zanzibar, 1954) lives and works in Preston, United Kingdom. In her painting, she has focused on uncovering marginalized and silenced stories, figures, and cultural moments. Her works critique the consequences of colonialism and challenge the invisibility of people of African descent in art and the media.

She has held solo exhibitions at institutions such as The New Museum in New York, the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the “Gifts to Kings” exhibition at the MRAC in Sérignan; “Navigation Charts” at Spike Island in Bristol; “Invisible Strategies” at Modern Art in Oxford; and “The Truth Is Never Watertight” at the Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe.

Amparo Espinosa Rugarcía Nativity Scene

The Amparo Espinosa Rugarcía Nativity Scene was created in the early 20th century, when the Ashby family commissioned Felipe Nieva, a craftsman from Veracruz, Mexico, to create a series of sculptural depictions of biblical passages.

This Nativity includes approximately 1,100 hand-painted clay figures in a figurative-expressionist style, depicting 50 biblical scenes from the Old and New Testaments. In 1981, Amparo Espinosa Rugarcía acquired the collection because of its emotional connection to her childhood memories and the cultural significance of the pieces.
Amparín Serrano Espinosa

The archive of Mexican designer and artist Amparín Serrano Espinosa—renowned for her unique visual universe, her boundless creativity, and her ability to connect with different generations through art and design— was launched in 2022 with the aim of recovering, preserving, and revitalizing her legacy.

Amparín taught us that dreams can also be drawn. Every line she drew tells a story, and every color conveys an emotion. Through her free, playful, expressive, and authentic art, we see a reflection of her essence.
