Mediums

Six decades of work across disciplines — each medium a different conversation with form, memory, and material

Etching

Intricate intaglio prints exploring texture, line, and tonal depth — a practice spanning 60+ years

Ink & Pencil

Drawings of precision and gestural freedom — from fine detail on cotton paper to bold compositional studies

Painting

Oil on canvas and panel works blending color, form, and layered narrative — rooted in Mexico's rich painting tradition

Sculpture

Three-dimensional works that transform material into meaning — form in conversation with space

Ceramics

Hand-built and thrown forms rooted in the ceramic traditions of Veracruz — earth, fire, and hand in dialogue

Mixed Media

Multi-disciplinary works combining media into unified artistic statements — crossing boundaries freely

About the Artist

Lética Tarrago is a Xalapa-based Mexican visual artist whose practice spans six decades and crosses printmaking, drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media. Her work is rooted in the graphic tradition of Mexican printmaking while remaining entirely her own — characterized by a profound sensitivity to material, memory, and place.

Written about by figures including Emilio Carballido, Sergio Pitol, and Bertha Taracena, her work has been exhibited across Mexico from her debut at the Galería de la Alianza Française in 1973 to recent group shows in Tabasco and Guanajuato.
