Marisol D’Estrabeau is a Mexican visual artist whose work constructs symbolic ecosystems inhabited by hybrid beings that exist between the biological, the ancestral, and the cosmic.
Working across painting and large-scale muralism, she develops a distinct visual language where forms resemble both organic structures and speculative life systems. Her compositions evoke imagined anatomies, mythological entities, and spatial environments that function as maps of identity, transformation, and belonging.
Rather than depicting fantasy as escape, D’Estrabeau uses it as a framework to question fixed notions of the self, proposing fluid and interconnected identities that merge human, animal, and cosmic dimensions.
Her work engages both intimate and public spaces, where scale, color, and symbolic density activate environments and invite viewers into immersive encounters that blur the boundaries between inner and collective worlds.
