Colombian sculptor at the Lima Latin American Art Fair

Verónica Matiz is a special guest at Pinta Perú 2024 from April 24 to 28 at the Convention Center.

RENOWNED Colombian sculptor Verónica Matiz, recognized for her innovative work in the field of contemporary sculpture, has been selected as a special guest to participate in Pinta Perú 2024, an important Latin American Contemporary Art Fair in Lima, Peru. This event, which will take place from April 24 to 28 at the Lima Convention Center, will bring together prominent artists and art lovers from across the region.
In this way, Marissi Campos Galería, recognized for her commitment to the promotion of Latin American contemporary art, is pleased to announce the participation of the outstanding Colombian sculptor as an artist represented in Pinta PArC 2024, the Official Contemporary Art Fair in Peru.

Pinta PArC stands out for its experimental and ambitious programming, as well as its careful selection of galleries. It is the most attractive international cultural event in the region and a window to the essence of Peru, intertwining its historical richness with the most current influences of contemporary art.

With more than 18 years of artistic career, Verónica Matiz has stood out for her ability to transcend borders with her work. From Colombia to destinations as diverse as Germany, and now Peru, Matiz has left an indelible mark on the world of contemporary art.

When speaking about her inspiration and her creative process, Matiz shares her dual approach toward sculptural creation. From meticulous cardboard models to more organic processes that allow for improvisation in the workshop, her work reflects a deep connection with nature and human feelings.

Matiz's unique style is characterized by the use of sheet steel, which she skillfully shapes to evoke organic shapes such as shells and flowers. Her meticulous polishing and application of vivid colors breathe life into her sculptures, establishing a link between the industrial and the natural.

Matiz's participation in Pinta Perú is of significant importance, since it gives her the opportunity to present her work on the first international platform dedicated to the promotion of Latin American art worldwide. This event represents a unique opportunity to expand her presence in the Latin American market and consolidate her position as an influential figure in the world of contemporary art.

When approaching interaction with the public, the artist emphasizes her enjoyment of sharing the essence of her work and her desire for viewers to connect deeply with her sculptures. Her participation in Pinta Perú not only seeks to generate admiration for her work, but also to provoke reflection and an enriching dialogue about art and nature.

“I enjoy interacting with the public and explaining the essence of my work, sharing my energy and joy. I hope that people connect with my work on a deep level and take away a piece of my essence after seeing it in the exhibition,” highlights the Colombian sculptor.

Looking to the future, Matiz anticipates exciting artistic projects, including her participation in the Swiss Sculpture Triennial, as well as exhibitions in Brussels, France and Dubai. Additionally, she plans to explore new techniques and materials as she seeks to conquer the Japanese market in the next year.

It should be noted that Marissi Campos Gallery is a traveling space that aims to disseminate postmodernist and contemporary Latin American art in non-traditional spaces. Its purpose is to democratize art, disseminate contemporary art and promote Latin American collecting.

As far as Pinta PArC is concerned, it is the official contemporary art fair in Peru. It stands out for its commitment to positioning Peruvian and Latin American art in the international arena. It is the undisputed meeting point where artists, curators, collectors and an increasingly broad public celebrate the best of Latin American art.
