Salvador Banda (b. 1996, Querétaro) is a Mexican visual artist whose practice explores identity, territory, and the tensions embedded within everyday life. Working across painting and conceptual approaches, his work reflects on the formation of subjectivity within contexts marked by social contrast, migration, and structural inequality. Drawing from personal experience and collective conditions, Banda constructs images and ideas that question dominant narratives of progress and belonging. His practice treats daily life as a site of resistance, where time, space, and memory are reconsidered outside linear and productivist frameworks. Through this lens, his work opens alternative ways of understanding how individuals relate to place and to broader systems of power.

He grew up between Juventino Rosas and Querétaro, experiences that continue to inform his perspective on displacement and aspiration. Banda is currently based in Mexico City, where he is pursuing a Master’s degree in Visual Arts at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. His practice continues to investigate the fragile relationship between lived experience and the ideological structures that shape it.
