María Naidich´s practice addresses topics related to stones, water, concepts of nature and the dichotomies derived from an anthropocentric understanding of nature, such as the alive/inert and natural/artificial. María combines research and diverse artistic practices engaging fiction and speculation. Her installations involve texts, glass sculpture, ceramics and assemblages of found objects and matter. Her projects allude to archaeological methods and references non western cosmologies in relation to nature.
María holds a MA with honors in Art and Literature Studies from the UAEM in Mexico and a BFA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In 2022 she was awarded with the Jovenes Creadores grant by the National Fund for Arts and Culture in Mexico (FONCA) and in the same year she was selected for the 2022 Pilchuck Fellowship Program in Seattle, U.S.A. Her work has been exhibited in individual and collective exhibitions inside and outside México; Foro R38 Claustro de Sor Juana (Mexico City, upcoming solo show), TSA Philadelphia (U.S.A, 2023), Salón Acme (Mexico City, 2022 & 2019 ), Tlaxcala3 (Mexico City, 2022), Galleri Q (Copenhagen, 2018), HANGAR Barcelona (Barcelona, 2017), Oude Kerk (Amsterdam, 2016) and De Brakke Grond (Amsterdam, 2015) among others.
