Javier Fresneda is a Spanish artist based in Mexico.

By using drawings, sculpture series and installations, Fresneda’s works question notions of authenticity and totality by translating historical narratives as fables. Current interests include the materialization of digital cultures, the revision of modern iconographies as historical caricatures, and the conflation of original patrimonial samples with forgeries and anonymous objects.

Fresneda holds a PhD in Art Practice by the University of California San Diego (United States). He obtained an MFA in the Contemporary Art Program of the UEM-European University of Madrid (Spain).
