About Tere Derbez
Tere Derbez was born in Mexico City, has her art studio at San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, and Scottsdale, Arizona; since she was a child, she has showed her love for painting. As a teenager she began her studies at the Institute of Fine Arts of San Luis Potosí, where she cultivated a deep friendship with teacher Raúl Gamboa, a contemporary of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo, and from whom she learned the basics of drawing and the secrets of painting, and whom Tere Derbez considers her mentor.
However, her interest in painting and writing never ceases. Since 1995, she has dedicated her full time to her passion; painting and writing, always looking for new forms and techniques of expression. Her painting style leads towards surrealism, having Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington as role models. She describes herself as a passionate woman who loves all her experiences, recognizing that in the face of people, essentially in their eyes, their soul is reflected. She believes that at this time Mexico needs a new stream of artists that need support to be able to dedicate themselves fully to the creation of their works.
As a writer, she writes weekly in two newspapers in Mexico: El Sol de San Luis y Del Bajio, and monthly in Hominis Magazine. She has written two books of poems, and the novel «El Ángel de Sofía». She also has a foundation called «El Ángel de Sofía», which is focused on helping young people and adults from marginalized areas, to help to realize their dreams of life by promoting education, art and sports. The foundation puts special attention on the area of mental health. Tere currently collaborates in the Huasteca Potosina and the Sierra Tarahumara as well as in San Luis Potosí, where a Cultural Program was started and a «Cultural and Arts Center» was created in an abandoned market.
