Didier Mejía Mayés was born in the city of Oaxaca in 1968. He studied at the fine arts school of the Universidad Autónoma Benito Juárez de Oaxaca and qualified as an industrial designer; in 1993 he took a ceramics workshop with Juan Alberu and in 1996 was advised by Liborio Navarrete and Francisco Monterrosa. His painting moves from point and line towards abstraction, in oil, encaustic, acrylic and mixed media, and his figures with outsized heads come from childhood memories.
