With a degree in Fine Arts with a double specialization in painting and sculpture, a Doctorate in Fine Arts specializing in Drawing, and a degree in Philosophy, Mesa has been a professor of Artistic Drawing at the Schools of Art and Higher Design for two decades and is currently a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of La Laguna. She has presented recent solo exhibitions, in addition to Artizar, at EXHIBITLab (Santander), CIC El Almacén (Lanzarote), and the Ateneo tinerfeño, and her group exhibitions have taken her to spaces such as S/t Espacio Cultural (Las Palmas), TEA, Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, Galería Bibli, also in Tenerife, and the International Museum of Contemporary Art of Lanzarote, within the framework of its ninth Biennial.

In a historical moment that forces us to redefine our relationship with reality and its representation, my work focuses on a theoretical-formal investigation that reflects on this need. From different starting points, which address various categorizations about the fiction of reality, I work on the tension generated between both concepts.

To do this, I use drawing, which I consider the most elementary, austere, and, in a way, honest plastic expression. I propose a rereading of its processes and materials in parallel to a reflection based on Deleuze, Heidegger, or Danto, to derive, as a result, in the production of works formally articulated around the density of graphite and India ink. With these theoretical and physical materials, I construct solid drawings that seek to strain—and question—the reality of the drawing itself and, therefore, the drawing of reality itself.
