Federico Jordan

Federico Jordán-Gómez (b. 1969) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in northeastern Mexico. His work, which spans more than 35 years, includes ceramics, painting, engraving, documentary photography, performance, and illustration.

Currently, his artistic practice explores the poetics and the sacredness that underlie signs, processes, materials, and the impermanence of things. His actions arise from the pneumatology and anthropology of the remote peoples of the Coahuila desert.

In 2023, he founded Editorial Naufragio (Shipwreck Editorial) with Valdemar Ayala, a platform focused on presenting his artistic work and projects. He has collaborated on academic publications for the School of Visual Arts in New York (SVA NY), and his work has been exhibited in national and international galleries and museums.

He is a member of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte (SNCA) 2025 in Mexico, in the field of visual arts, specializing in painting.

Jordán-Gómez is pursuing a postgraduate degree in Theological Anthropology at the Universidad de la Arquidiócesis de Monterrey and a postgraduate degree in Art Education at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León.

He is an epigone of the artist José Salat Figols of the Antigua Academia de San Carlos, and his illustration work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Pentagram Design, among others.
