Deborah Castillo (born Caracas, Venezuela, 1971) is a Venezuelan artist who has resided in New York City since 2014[1]. She has become known for her controversial works, which include historical, epic and political icons. She studied Plastic Arts with a minor in sculpture at the Armando Reverón School of Plastic Arts and has been active on the art scene since 2003, the year in which she was awarded two important awards in the city of Caracas, the Salón award of Youth with FIA and the Eugenio Mendoza award.
She has explored various artistic disciplines but the ones that stand out the most are video, photography, sculpture, sculptural ceramics and performance, disciplines that he intertwines to offer a complex work, full of historical and philosophical references.[1] Her work reflects on the persistence of patriarchy and challenges the heroic, caudillo and messianic epic.

Work
The greatest constant in Deborah Castillo's work has been her own body, which she uses to make critical and political points. Since "Sucursal CCS" 2006, she has performed individually in the Mendoza room, in which she uses her body to raise questions about the reproduction of female representation and stereotypes in relation to the advertising image, simulation and sexual exploitation. Several stagings make up the exhibition, which generates immersive situations for visitors. The pieces challenge the idea of the work of art by approaching the notion of a consumable object and advertising aesthetics. https://radicaldisobedience.tome.press/
