Maï Diallo (1999) is a visual artist who lives and works in Tenerife, Canary Islands. Her
work focuses on analysing the hegemonic gaze, studying the different forms of control exercised by institutions of power. In her works, she focuses on those subjects that have been historically dehumanised, questioning their cultural relationship with the concept of the natural: women, bodies with gestational capacity, people of African descent… These ideas expand into a material and speculative exploration where the body is confused between the organic and the artificial, between the natural and the constructed, imagining fictions in which the distinction between the human and nature is blurred to give rise to other imaginaries of the body: bodies unfolded that dissolve into their territory, tearing down the iron foundations of difference.

He has participated in exhibitions such as La Proclama Herética (Contemporary Biennial at TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, 2024), Propuestas VEGAP (Conde Duque Cultural Centre, 2026), COLAPSO (TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, 2022), Paisajes del intersticio (El Tanque Cultural Centre, 2023) and RESET: distopías utópicas del fin de la imagen (SAC, 2021). She has also been the recipient of awards and grants such as the Manolo Millares 2025 Plastic Arts Award from the CajaCanarias Foundation, the INJUVE 2025-2026 Creation Grants, the CICCA Foundation’s Young Canarian Artists Award and the VEGAP Foundation’s 2024 Proposals Competition.

Maï Diallo is part of the exhibition De rerum natura.
