Claudia Martínez Garay

Claudia Martínez Garay’s work investigates the journey that objects undertake from the moment of their origin, through the progression of contexts and destinations that they inhabit, suggesting that the information accrued in these transitory spaces holds value and power. Martínez Garay looks to the pre-Columbian cultures of South America, with a focus on representing and interpreting the visual language of Incan ceremonial traditions.

Claudia Martínez Garay studied Printmaking at the Pontificia Universidad Católica of Peru (PE) from 2001 to 2007 and at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam (NL) from 2016 to 2017. She is now participating in the 12th Shanghai Bienniale (CN).
