Born in 1983 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, Fina Ferrara has transformed herself from a celebrated classical ballet dancer into a bold multidisciplinary performance and video artist. Fusing rigorous training with radical forms of expression, her work explores movement (physical, emotional, and conceptual), through dance, theater, sculpture, video, and installation.

Ferrara often blurs the line between performer and viewer, drawing audiences into a space of visceral reflection and emotional resonance. Disturbed by the ways human boundaries are often crossed or silenced, she transforms inner tension into acts of release and reflection. Through the body, she investigates processes of pain, purification, and rebirth, inviting the audience to witness change.

Ferrara’s creative process is deeply intuitive and rooted in personal experiences, yet it transcends autobiography to touch on collective narratives, especially those related to womanhood, vulnerability, and resistance. Whether holding a frozen heart in her hands or breaking wine glasses, she crafts images that linger in the viewer’s psyche.

Her art is a language of sensation and contradiction: between pain and beauty, intimacy and exposure, control and surrender. Guided by a belief in the transformative power of art, Ferrara sees performance not as reenactment, but as invocation, a way of revealing what usually remains hidden.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in cultural capitals including London, Paris, New York, Venice, Rome, Madrid, South Korea, and Mumbai, as well as across Latin America. Ferrara has received multiple international awards, including the Future of Art Global Masterpiece Award, the Leonardo da Vinci International Prize, and the Collectors Art Prize / Art Legends of Our Time (2025)—a distinction awarded to artists whose work is recognized as part of the living history of art. 

She has also been featured in the Gold List by Art Market Magazine and named among the Top Contemporary Artists to Watch by Contemporary Art Curator Magazine.
