Interdisciplinary Artist | B.A. in Philosophy (in progress) | Born in Arequipa, Peru | Based in Lima, Peru
Her practice investigates the principles that organize, transform, and sustain life, understanding nature as a dynamic network of relationships between matter, energy, and time. Through painting, drawing, installation, and textile practices, she develops a body of research conceived as an expanded field journal and an experimental laboratory, focused on natural and systemic processes that unfold across different scales and temporalities, from Earth systems to planetary and cosmological movements. Her work takes shape as a record in becoming, where matter and time leave traces that sediment into memory.
She has presented her work in solo and group exhibitions, including Ensayos Circulares at the Museo de Minerales Andrés del Castillo and Tres at the Museo Amano. She was selected for the World Textile Art Pre-Biennial (WTA, 2020), and her work is held in private collections in Peru. Her work has been exhibited in Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Spain, and she participates in international projects in Canada.
