Tatiana Parcero was born in Mexico and earned a master's degree in Photography and Art Theory from New York University/International Center of Photography and a bachelor's degree in Psychology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Parcero has exhibited nationally and internationally at venues such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, California, the Museo Archivo de la Fotografía in Mexico City, and the Festival Terre d'Images in Biarritz, France. He has received numerous awards, including a three-year grant from the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte, Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (FONCA), Mexico, which allowed him to continue developing his most recent work (Universus). His work is widely collected by photography enthusiasts and distinguished museums and universities.

Parcero is an artist whose imagery continually delineates themes of ritual, religion and the intricate traditions of diverse cultures. In her most recent work, Universus, Parcero poetically depicts these themes with images that are superimposed on the image of her own body, communicating ideas related to identity, memory, territory and time. In this and previous series, Parcero has also worked with symbol-covered self-portraits and illustrations to metaphorically trace the lineage between his personal experiences and the human experience in general.
