Bio

Elena Calvo (b. 1997) is a Mexican American photographer and multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. Her practice blends photography with occasional performance, drawing on the contrasts between tradition and modernity, and the shifting space between belonging and otherness. Shaped by her experience of growing up in Mexico and migrating alone to the United States at seventeen, Calvo’s work reflects the layered complexity of identity, weaving together elements of her Mexican heritage with her life in the U.S.

Her exhibitions include Aqua Art Miami (2022, group), Mexico Analogo Artist Spotlight (2022, solo), Berlin Exquisite Codes (2023, group), Tribeca Community on Display (2024, solo), Not Your Average Slideshow (2025, group), and MONAD Timeless Tones (2025, group).
