About the Artist
Millery Beltran
Is a Peruvian visual and mixed media artist, sculptor, illustrator, and actress. Though not yet widely recognized in traditional circles, her self-taught approach and multifaceted talent have established her as a meaningful figure in contemporary art and culture.
Her theatrical journey led her to immerse herself in New York’s vibrant artistic scene, where she collaborated with the collective Abya Yala Arte y Cultura. She portrayed Mercedes Cabello—a pioneer in advocating for women's civil rights in Latin America—in the play Valiant Women. She also appeared in We Are Still Here, a production centered on the immigrant experience, and showcased her versatility in the bilingual children’s play The Fox, the Mole, and the Moon, in which she simultaneously brought to life four magical characters.
Alongside her theatrical pursuits, Millery has built a strong career as a children’s book illustrator and as an arts and creative development instructor for children, actively working with public libraries throughout New York City.
In the field of visual arts, Millery Beltran has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in various cities. In May 2019, she presented her solo show Visual Universes at the Centro Cultural La Biblio Musicineteca in Barcelona, Spain. That same year, in October, she inaugurated her traveling solo exhibition Warmis (a Quechua word meaning “Women”), invited by the Peruvian Cultural Center (CECUPE) at La Maison de l’Amérique Latine in Paris, France. The exhibition continued its journey in August 2020 in Cusco, Peru, selected by the Peruvian North American Cultural Institute of Cusco, and was later adapted into a virtual format due to global health restrictions.
The Warmis series concluded its international tour with a solo exhibition at the William V. Musto Cultural Center in Union City, New Jersey, USA. In November 2021, Millery held another solo show titled Iconic Cosmogony at the Consulate of Peru in Paris, as part of Quipu 2021 – La Quincena de la Cultura Peruana en París.
In May 2024, she took part in Glow, a collective exhibition at the William V. Musto Cultural Center, where she presented vibrant works that celebrated the human spark through color and contemporary expression.
In recognition of her growing impact on the international art scene, Millery was awarded International Emerging Visual Artist of the Year on October 7, 2024, by Premio Arte International in the state of New Jersey, USA.
She is currently preparing her upcoming solo exhibition Duendes y Colibríes, set to open in October 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. This series blends mythology, modernity, and neo-Andean inspiration.
In parallel, she is developing her first children’s book, which she will both write and illustrate—marking a significant milestone in her artistic career.
She is also working on new pieces for Chronicles of Humanity, a collective exhibition scheduled for July 19, 2025, in New Jersey. This project explores human experiences and resilience through vibrant, contemporary artistic expressions.
Alongside her creative endeavors, Millery directs Qinti Publishing, a publishing venture dedicated to producing Spanish and English works by Latin American authors. Her unwavering commitment to artistic expression, cultural preservation, and innovation continues to guide her vibrant and ever-evolving artistic path.
