Alejandra Zermeño- Ake-
Born in Mexico City on December 21st, 1978.
From the outset of her artistic practice, Ake has explored the representation of animals as visual metaphors for the psychological and emotional states of human beings. Through this symbolic lens, her work delves into the complex intersections between instinct, vulnerability, and consciousness.
Zermeño’s prolific production has been featured in eighteen solo exhibitions—most recently in a virtual presentation at the Mexican Museum of San Francisco—and in over fifty group exhibitions and biennials across Canada, Ecuador, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Turkey, and the United States and. She also participated in the 2011 edition of NordArt.
Her career has been recognized with numerous distinctions, including an Honorable Mention at the Premio Arte de México (2023) and First Place in Sculpture at the National Competition Women in Art (2009). Her sculptures are part of the permanent collection of the José Vasconcelos Library, within the presidential initiative La Ciudad de los Libros (“The City of Books”), where she created three sculptures for the Castro Leal Collection Room in collaboration with acclaimed architect Bernardo Gómez Pimienta.
Zermeño’s public works can be found throughout Mexico, notably through the itinerant project Taktile (2016). In 2020, she was commissioned by the Municipal Government of Nicolás Romero, State of Mexico, to create a monument honoring Colonel Nicolás Romero, installed in the city’s main square. In 2013, she was a special guest at the Essarts Sculpture Congress in Montreal, Canada, where she realized a public artwork.
In recognition of her sustained artistic trajectory and contribution to contemporary sculpture, she was invited in 2016 to join the Arts & Letters Council of the Mexican Museum in San Francisco, California.
