Romina Rivero
Bio
The artist's work explores the connections between Western and Eastern thought, addressing biopolitical violence through the fields of medicine and philosophy. She juxtaposes contemporary Western medicine with traditional practices, and Taoist philosophy with thinkers such as Foucault and Preciado, reflecting on the control of life, the body, reproduction and individual autonomy.
Statement
Through the imagery of wounds, scars and trauma, her work explores physical and emotional pain as spaces of memory, resistance and identity. Using an aesthetic characterised by chromatic restraint and diverse artistic languages, she advocates intimacy, autonomy and freedom, understanding the body as a territory and a place of memory. Her work seeks to dignify both the experiences of the living and the memory of the dead.
