Born in Canada, Mercedes Vandendorpe studied Fine Arts at the Universities of Ottawa and Valencia. She has lived and worked for many years in Valencia.

Her personal vision is inspired by the different figures of the psyche. She is interested in the Jungian vision of the unconscious, leading her to explore concepts such as archetypal images, the Shadow or the Ego. The myths and beliefs of different cultures also enrich her visual universe by their symbols and referential framework.
