(born in Valencia, Spain in 1998) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Chicago. Her practice is mostly focused on sculpture and aims to translate intimate interviews and stories into art objects, often touching on themes and topics such as identity and acceptance, taboos, religion and rebellion.

Amparo earned her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in May 2022. She was a teaching apprentice with the Chicago Children’s Theatre in Summer 2020 and apprenticed under Chicago artist Dana Major in early 2021 – receiving the SAIC Parent’s Council Award for her outstanding work in off-campus internships. Since graduation, she has worked administrative and instructional jobs at higher learning institutions such as SAIC and CEU San Pablo University and has gone on to study an MA in Museum and Heritage Studies, which she is currently pursuing at Complutense University de Madrid. Her art has been exhibited nationally with the Cook Station Arts Collective and internationally in Athens (Greece) in collaboration with British gallery The Holy Art.
