Eduardo Sarabia (b. 1976, Los Angeles, CA) uses narrative as his primary material. Over the years, he has developed a unique visual language and personal aesthetic rooted in his lived experience, but also shaped by a kind of fiction that runs through the construction of his stories. Born in Los Angeles to Mexican parents, Sarabia explores the cultural impact of social phenomena, with historical and geographic contexts subtly permeating his work. While his practice is often autobiographical, it’s marked by an ongoing process of experimentation, personal references are deliberately obscured to allow open interpretation and emphasize on the cultural, sociopolitical, or mystical frameworks that surround his life. This becomes most evident in his paintings: personal photographs partially obscured by floral motifs that not only invite a tautological reflection, but also point to the inner stories that shape his perception of reality. These works reflect a process that resonates universally, one that drifts between ficction, forgetting and the persistence of memory.

Sarabia’s work unfolds at the intersection of traditional craft materials such as ceramics, textiles and contemporary methodologies, spanning sculpture, painting, installation, and performative practices. In 2023 and 2024, Sarabia conducted research on the Total Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024, a theme that shaped a series of solo exhibitions: Prologue (2023) at Maureen Paley, London; 4 Minutos de Oscuridad (2024) at Galería OMR, Mexico City; and Viaje hacia el Eclipse at the Museo de Arte de Mazatlán in April 2024.

Sarabia has held solo exhibitions in institutions such as Dallas Contemporary (TX, USA); CAC Málaga (Spain); Museo Universitario del Chopo (Mexico City); The Mistake Room (Los Angeles); Museo Tamayo (Mexico City); Instituto Cultural Cabañas (Guadalajara); Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca; Museum of Contemporary Art Denver; Tokyo Wonder Site (Japan); ASU Art Museum (Tempe, Arizona); and the Santa Monica Museum of Art, among others. In 2021, he participated in Desert X with The Passenger, a site-specific installation made from handwoven petates. His most recent exhibition, SUEÑXS, was presented at Fundación Careyes. Sarabia’s work is part of numerous public and private collections. In the fall of 2025, he will present his next solo show in Europe at Veta Gallery, Madrid.
