Devora Perez’s exploration on abstraction, materiality, and perception allows a blurring of dimensions to occur as her work operates in the spaces between painting, sculpture, and installation. Although minimal and subtle in form, her three-dimensional and two-dimensional works disrupt the ideas of structure, utility, and definition. She creates works that serve as a form of resistance, pushing beyond any singular limitation, with interactions between space, material, and light, adding layers of meaning.

 

Devora Perez is a visual artist, born and based in Miami. She earned her BFA from New World School of the Arts in 2016, and her MFA from Florida International University in 2020. Perez participated in a one-year residency program with Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI) in 2018. In the same year she traveled to Belize as an artist ambassador, as part of DVCAI’s International Cultural Exchange program funded by Miami Dade Department of Cultural Affairs.

 

She was awarded the Betty Laird Perry Award from the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum in 2020.
