Michelle Mendieta Mean is an artist and photographer based in London, England. Mendieta is currently pursuing a master’s degree in photography at the Royal College of Art, and has a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from the University of Oxford.

Notable exhibitions include the group show ‘Holding Time’ held at the ‘Avalon Cafe’ in London, where the artist showcased their work and co-curated the exhibit in 2023.

As a multimedia artist, Mendieta draws from their background in painting and installation art to inspire a fusion of media in their practice, often drawing ideas from their own paintings and developing these into photographic series.
