LEONORA CARRINGTON (1917–2011)
A British-born Surrealist who found her true voice in Mexico, Carrington created mystical worlds filled with alchemical beasts, priestesses, and feminine power. Her writing and painting were deeply intertwined, reflecting myth, magic, and rebellion. Her work is housed in Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico City), Tate Modern, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art."I didn’t have time to be anyone’s muse. I was too busy rebelling against my family and learning to be an artist."
