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.
From Objects to Energy
Zeta Yeyati’s work begins with what already exists. Objects, materials and fragments from everyday life carry stories, traces of use and memory, and become the raw material for a practice rooted in experience rather than theory. What he does is not about preserving the past, but about transforming it, returning what was discarded to circulation through color, energy and presence.
“My work is a chaos of art, color, recycling and rock that makes people feel good.”
– Zeta yeyati
Recycling, transformation and joy operate as working principles. The objects he uses come from real lives and real contexts, and his interest lies in capturing the essence of those lives and sharing it through his work. What emerges is a living, evolving practice that invites connection rather than distance.
Process as Movement
His studio practice is driven by momentum more than by perfection. There is no fixed destination, only an ongoing dialogue between intuition, material and emotion. What sustains the work is the desire to work itself; without that impulse, the process simply does not move forward.
A defining shift occurred in 2020. Returning from Art Week Mexico City to Argentina, he encountered a complex moment at home. With live music on pause, he transformed his rehearsal space into an atelier and committed fully to his visual practice. The transition was not a withdrawal, but an expansion — a way of redirecting his creative energy into a new language that continues to feel active and alive.
Freedom, Market and Expansion
In Yeyati’s practice, completion is not a technical endpoint but an intuitive pause within an ongoing process. A work reaches its moment of closure when he recognizes that this is what he wanted to say. The piece remains open, part of a larger continuum rather than a definitive statement.
His relationship with the art market remains secondary to creative freedom. Rather than adapting his work to external expectations, he prioritizes authenticity, trusting that honesty will find its own resonance.
“Creative freedom is what drives me, and I hope that shows in the work.”

At this stage, his work is expanding beyond the object. He is currently working with recycled materials and mechanical elements, exploring more interactive and participatory experiences where the viewer becomes part of what unfolds. The artwork shifts from being something observed to something lived.
At its core, his practice is about access. Art is not positioned as distant or elitist, but as a shared space grounded in feeling rather than knowledge.
“To enjoy art you don’t need to know, you only need to feel.”
– Zeta Yeyati
An Open Invitation
Zeta Yeyati’s presence at Art Week Mexico City 2026 marks a crossing of geographies and energies. His work, shaped by everyday life, transformation and play, continues to resonate beyond borders and to find new points of connection with audiences.
For him, this moment is also an invitation: to encounter art through energy and emotion, to connect without filters, and to allow the experience to unfold beyond the object.
“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 gesture lies the essence of his practice — an art that does not ask for permission, but opens a door, moving from chaos to connection.
