Edith Pons (Mexico City, 1978) is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in painting. She graduated from the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking ENPEG “La Esmeralda.” She has exhibited nationally and internationally since 1999, developing a trajectory that combines visual imagination and a deep interest in symbolic narratives, which in recent years has evolved into a stronger commitment to painterly mastery and technical rigor.
She complemented her academic training with a Master’s Degree in Sacred Art at the Pontifical University of Mexico (2023–2025), where she deepened her study of theological symbolism, iconographic tradition, and the spiritual dimensions of contemporary imagery.
Her creative experience spans multiple fields, including gallery and museum assistance, art production for film and advertising projects, graphic and web design, advertising, and fashion design. As a cultural promoter, she conceived and directed major artistic initiatives in Mexico City, including Tierra de Esperanza by Yoko Ono and Empatía by Barbara Kruger (2016), as well as Ser Humano / Ser Urbano (2017), a project that presented works by Tracey Emin and Keith Haring.
In 2024, she fully resumed her personal artistic production, exploring a conscious return to beauty, symbolism, and painterly mastery. In 2025, she was awarded Third Place at the Sacred Art Prize with the work Saint Michael #1 and received an Honorable Mention for her work The Triumph of Saint Michael, a recognition that strengthens her research within contemporary sacred art.
Her work integrates painting, portraiture, nature, and Christian iconography into a figurative language with realist accents, where the image seeks to make visible the invisible reality through symbolic tradition.
She is currently developing new pictorial series focused on the exploration of symbolic thresholds or portals as metaphors for inner transition and spiritual transformation, approached through a figurative and symbolic pictorial language that combines realism, expressiveness, and a contemporary vision.
