Guzmán Paz (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1988) builds small scale scenes where complex psychological narratives take place. Desire, jealousy, admiration, betrayal, introspection, private inner worlds colliding with social situations are enacted by characters who gender-bend, in pieces which combine painting and detailed, laboriously handmade sculptural elements. He is interested in a visual language at the crossroads of pop culture and a playfully baroque sensibility.

Since 2016 Guzmán Paz has been a member of the three-artist collective Basica TV, based in Montevideo and Buenos Aires, which has produced a series of bold, humorous video performances on queer experience. In the past couple of years he began developing his own body of work based on autobiographical narratives told from the standpoint of play and fantasy, giving visibility to his subjective experiences as non-binary. Guzman Paz has held two solo exhibitions, at UV Studios and Alfombra Roja in Buenos Aires. He has participated in group exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo, Paris; El Dorado, Bogota; Museo de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires; Bikini Wax, Mexico City; CCK, Buenos Aires, among others.
