I´m Raquel Bessudo, a Jewellery artist based in Mexico City, holding a BA(Hons) Fine Arts degree from CSM College of Arts and Design London UK, 2000. And a postgraduate diploma from UPC, Barcelona. I was part of the selection for Shmuck 2020, participated in a group exhibition on the occasion of Paris Prcous Bijux 2020 and recently with Association Alliages as part of Painful Hope exhibition.
My work has been exhibited in Mexico, Argentina, USA, Australia and Europe.

VEOVEO promise objects for everyday use, Radiant Pavilion, Melbourne city library, Australia August 2017.
Through my work, I explore the quotidian, my everyday relationship with what surrounds me. Little and intimate happenings or places inspire me. They are an intrinsic part of my work.
Often I refer to memories of those instants; it is a selective and conscious process for preserving.
The use of Fabric, embroidery and paint has become an essential part of my work, and they are my words. How I make them interact, complete the sentences and help writing the story.
