Mar Delio, an Illustrator based in Mexico City, is known for their exploration of the queer experience across a variety of mediums. Their work is a reflection of the diverse cultural landscape that surrounds them, weaving together abstract and contemporary elements into a tapestry of sapphic surrealism.
 
With a commitment to transcending conventional boundaries, Mar employs vivid paintings, and experimental mixed-media creations. Each piece serves as a narrative, inviting viewers to step into a world where reality and imagination merge seamlessly. Alice in Wonderland meets a curious, other worldly WLW haze. Motifs of flowers, embrace, bondage, insects- we are invited to re-evaluate our relationship with nature, and desire.
 
Mar's exploration of sapphic themes is a celebration of love and identity, challenging societal norms and creating a space for diverse narratives. Their art is a testament to the fluidity of expression, breaking free from societal constraints to offer a glimpse into a realm where emotions, dreams, and realities intertwine.
