Clara Zaragoza -Photo Miami & Wynwood Pop-up Show
A luz como pincel. La cámara, mi ojo.
Retratan fragmentos. Portales para volver a
momentos
Vivimos del recuerdo. Somos, no más,
que un constante recuerdo
En cada imagen, algún tiempo
Permiten revivir los mismos sentimientos
Inmortales los cuentos
gracias a la luz, no se los llevó el viento
Francisco Miranda
Clara Z elevates the medium of paper collage with her dissected cyanotypes. The monochromatic blues not only capture the eye but also serve as a defining characteristic across her body of work. Each composition stands as a singular, unrepeatable act, capturing the essence and magic inherent in her practice.
“I work a lot with cyanotype at the moment, a process that involves using photosensitive chemicals to develop my analog photographs under UV light. I frequently combine this technique with others, such as collage and sculpture. I enjoy experimenting with new ideas while also being open to letting go of others. This, in fact, is my favorite aspect of the creative process, as I aim to craft distinctive artworks that diverge in terms of materials, concepts, or techniques.”
In her artworks she aims to explore various themes, each infused with a profound sense of nostalgia. She seeks to convey emotions, memories, and the concept of oblivion while providing fresh perspectives on the world.
“My creative process isn't strictly linear but highly experimental, and each of my works aims to incorporate something unique.”
Clara Z was born in 1998 in Argentina. She is currently based in Buenos Aires.
