Built from recycled materials, instinct and desire, Zeta Yeyati’s practice redefines the everyday as a space for connection and joy, as he arrives at Art Week Mexico City 2026.
A Universe Built from Everyday Life
Zeta Yeyati builds his work from everyday life, from objects, color and energy. His practice is driven by recycling, transformation and a deep desire to make art that feels alive, joyful and close to people. Intensity and passion run through everything he creates, shaping a language that feels direct, human and deeply personal.
“My work is a chaos of art, color, recycling and rock that makes people feel good.”
– Zeta yeyati
Rather than starting from theory, Yeyati works from experience. Objects carry stories, and those stories become raw material. What emerges is not nostalgia, but a living, evolving practice that reframes what is discarded and turns it into a space for connection.
“I constantly ask myself how I can capture the essence of life and of people’s objects and share it with others through my art.”
His studio practice is driven by momentum more than perfection. There is no fixed destination, only a continuous dialogue between intuition, material and emotion.
“What I can’t do without is the desire to work. I can do without inspiration, but without that drive, I don’t work.”
The shift from music to visual art in 2020 marked a defining moment. Returning from Art Week Mexico City to Argentina during a period of global uncertainty, Yeyati transformed his rehearsal space into an atelier and committed fully to his visual language, not as a retreat, but as an expansion.
“The energy and the desire remain intact, that’s what makes me feel young.”
Process, Freedom and the Market
In his practice, completion is not a technical endpoint but an intuitive decision, a pause in an ongoing process that remains open and alive.
“The work never truly ends; it’s a continuous process. There’s a moment when I say, ‘this is what I wanted to say.’”
While the art world often demands strategy, Yeyati chooses honesty. His relationship with the market is secondary to the need to create freely and without compromise.
“Creative freedom is what drives me, and I hope that shows in the work.”

From Object to Experience
Today, his work moves beyond the object, integrating recycled materials and mechanical elements to create interactive, participatory environments where the viewer becomes part of the experience.
“I’m working on a series that incorporates recycled materials and mechanical elements to create an interactive, fun and participatory experience.”
At its core, Yeyati’s practice is about access: art as a shared space rather than a closed system.
“To enjoy art you don’t need to know, you only need to feel.”

An Open Invitation
His presence at Art Week Mexico City 2026 is not simply a calendar highlight, but a cultural crossing, a moment where geography, material and energy meet.
“It means my work is resonating beyond borders, and I want to invite everyone in Mexico to come discover my work, to let themselves be carried by the energy of art , and who knows, maybe take a piece home. I’ll be waiting for you at BADA during Art Week Mexico City.”
In that invitation lies the essence of his practice: an art that does not ask for permission, but opens a door… from chaos to connection.
