BIOGRAPHY
Damián Suárez is a Venezuelan-Mexican visual artist whose practice reinterprets the legacy of Latin American modernism through weaving and large-format optical-kinetic compositions. His practice originates in a rural experience deeply marked by knowledge passed down through generations.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

TOTAL WORK OF ART
Based on the principle of Gesamtkunstwerk, the work manifests itself as a comprehensive experience where space, architecture and memory converge.
POLITICS OF THE GAZE
An ethical strategy that questions power relations in vision, transforming the act of looking into a conscious stance.
