Karian Amaya

Country and city of origin: MÉXICO (Chihuahua)
Working and living between Mexico and New York.

With a body of work focused primarily on installation, sculpture, drawing, and photography . My work has human bonds as its nerve center, and it is focused on an exploration of the division of the being, intimacy and identity. Who am I? What am I doing? Why am I doing it? My artwork is existential. I speak about the melancholy of emptinesss and simplicity outside the boundaries of the body . In order to express myself , I use those objects to wich we direct emotions and which we fashion into extensions of our personality.
Karian Amaya intends to interpret and express the neurological points found in human relationships as well as an exploration of intimacy and identity .Her main art inspirations and interests revolve around the existentialism and contemplation of the modern world, which she likes to explore those concepts and represent them in a simple and literal way.
