Daniel Robles Lizano (b.1996) is a Mexican artist based in Mexico City.  Graduate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, since childhood, Daniel Robles has had a profound fascination with insects, plants, and the wonders of life, coupled with a love for mythology and science fiction, ignited his imagination, birthing fantastical creatures and stories. These ideas, nurtured over the years, found expression through his professional studies.

​

In his artistic practice, sculpture takes center stage, but he also explores video, performance, and objects, delving into diverse speculative realms, bodies, and mythologies. Using materials like ceramic, silicone, metal, and wood, he brings his ideas to life. Drawing inspiration from theater, cinema, and various sculptural techniques, he enriches his creative process, weaving together multiple narratives and dimensions. His current works focus on the use of ceramics and mold making processes as well as practical effects for film and performance. His current interest has been in masks as a vessel and extension of the self.
