Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a close-up portrait of a woman wearing minimal clothing. The subject's face is obscured by a large, vibrant red object, creating a striking visual contrast. The overall composition emphasizes the use of bold, contrasting colors, with the woman's skin tone and the red object creating a visually striking image. The style appears to be a contemporary photographic portraiture, using unconventional framing and elements to challenge the viewer's perception. The artwork may comment on themes of identity, vulnerability, or the human experience. ...

Karen Paulina Biswell
B.1983, French/Colombian

Karen Paulina Biswell was born to Colombian parents who emigrated to Paris to escape the extreme political violence of the early 90s. Based on her amphibious experience between the western European world and a visual attraction to the reality underlying the romantic rhetoric of indigenous peoples, she constructs a visual universe that generates intense tensions between the historical past, mythical time and contemporary present. The images that Biswell reveals are moments that manifest as a ritual essence; simultaneously, they evoke the classic editorials of fashion publications. Her varied oeuvre – which is consistently defying definition – is drawn to subjects of vulnerability, morality and human fate. She is committed to capturing the lesser-known aspects of contemporary life, society's invisible and defiant elements, taking a deep interest in extreme states and the depths of the human mind and experience. ...

Instituto de Visión
Bogotá, New York City

Instituto de Vision is a Bogotá and New York based gallery for conceptual practices. Their mission is to investigate conceptual discourses that have been neglected by the official Latin American art canon. They have recovered important estates from the Latin American art of the mid century and continue to research the most enigmatic oeuvres of the region. Through a parallel program, they represent some of the most relevant contemporary practices from Colombia, Chile, North America, Venezuela, and others. Directed by three women, Instituto de Vision gives special attention to female voices, queer theories, environmental activism, the conflicts of migration, and other critical positions that challenge the established order. Using the international art scene as a platform, they are committed to give visibility and expand the work of artists that reveal critical realities and raise important questions for these contemporary subjects. ...
