bio
Marina Daiez (Buenos Aires, 1992) has developed a multidisciplinary practice that includes installations, sculptures, paintings and performances. She has also been working in the interaction between art and health-care creating art programs in hospitals’ settings.
Her compelling pictorial works explore fantastic and parallel worlds, using anthropomorphic characters she references relationships, care, affections, fears and auto-biographical situations, in order to think collectively how social transformations can be made departing from the personal. In her paintings the boundary between human, insect or flower is blurred. She often shows her paintings along with interactive soft sculptures meant to be used by the visitors.
She thinks of art as a way to develop knowledge and particularly to affect the body, believing in the political potential of emotions.
She has a B.A. in Visual Arts with a specialization in Painting from the Universidad del Museo Social Argentino.(2015). She participated in the Centro de Interferencias Artísticas program in charge of Roberto Jacoby(2016) and the Artistas x Artistas Program,(2019). In 2022 she received the Stimulus Award given by Fundación Cazadores, consisting in a large solo show where she combined painting and performative aspects. She was selected for several awards and has exhibited the Biennial of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Bahía Blanca (2017), the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rosario, PROA 21 and National Endowment for the Arts, among others. She has been invited to participate in La Verdi residency in Mexico City and in a program organized by Bruce High Quality Foundation in New York.
