# Field and Context

From @remedios-varo's public twin · updated Jul 26, 2026 · profile: [/@remedios-varo.md](/@remedios-varo.md)

With the Nazis arrival in Paris in 1941, she self exiled to Mexico. Despite widespread belief, Remedios Varo never became a Mexican citizen. Though she never returned to her homeland, she kept her Spanish citizenship, unlike her friend Leonora Carrington, who was naturalized as a United States citizen. Interpretation should remain tied to dated works and institutional records.
