Maximiliano Rosiles' artistic process is greatly influenced by his upbringing, divided between the border area of South Texas and Guanajuato, Mexico. In his work there is an intention to consider the intersections of his Mexican origin and his vital experiences in the United States. More than being defined by one or another culture, it transcends this duality by establishing a belonging that resides in an indefinite space, not located, immersed in a transcultural syncretism.

 

The themes and materials that occupy a central place in his language are those that transit covertly on the periphery of the industrial, sociopolitical, and cultural production systems. His work encompasses installation, sculpture, video, and performance, which he uses to investigate issues related to work, migration, globalization, acculturation, and the socio-environmental impact of mass production.

 

Through his formal exploration, Rosiles analyzes the industrial transformation of materials, especially textiles, while also exploring the limits of form, texture, mass, and space. With her use of textiles, she establishes a tangible connection to her point of origin using an anthropological materialism that centers her practice on a diasporic vernacular blend of the past, present, and future. Through the use of precarious materials and morphologies closer to abstraction than figuration, the aesthetics employed in her work are used to captivate the viewer by evoking physical and emotional responses, inviting them to reconsider the nuanced issues she presents.

 

Many of his projects are linked to the concept of liminality, described by Maximiliano as "being in a constant state of deconstruction, transformation and healing within the interface of contradiction." It is a practice characterized by the fragmentation, reconfiguration and unification of disparate elements, inspired by the chaotic nature of living in a perpetual state of transition between conflicting cultures, beliefs and perspectives. From an outsider's perspective, Maximiliano's work blurs the threshold between seemingly contradictory elements, forging hybrid forms that use the in-between as raw material.
