bio
Marina Daiez (Buenos Aires, 1992) develops a multidisciplinary practice spanning installation, sculpture, painting, and performance. Alongside her artistic work, she has spent over a decade engaged in projects that connect art, pedagogy, and health.
Her paintings explore fantastical, parallel worlds inhabited by non-human yet anthropomorphic figures. Through these characters, she addresses relationships, care, affection, and fear, opening a space to collectively imagine how to transform what unsettles us. Within these works, the boundaries between human, insect, and flower dissolve.
Daiez conceives of art as a mode of knowledge production and, more specifically, as a means of affecting the body—seeking to reconstruct and politically interrogate our emotions. Her current research focuses on the therapeutic potential of flowers and natural environments in relation to painting, incorporating ecological awareness into practices of community care.
She participated in the Centro de Interferencias Artísticas program led by Roberto Jacoby (2016) and the ArtistasxArtistas Program, directed by Florencia Rodríguez Giles and Tomás Espina (2019). In 2022 she received the Fundación Cazadores Stimulus Prize. In 2021 she participated in the Central Bank Painting Award, the Klemm Foundation, and the 8M Award. She received an honorable mention at the Andreani Prize (2021) and won the Kemble Young Fellowship Award (2019).
Her solo exhibitions include Fundación Cazadores (2022), Biquini Wax, Mexico (2018), and the National Art Biennial at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Bahia Blanca (2017). Her work has also been shown in group exhibitions at Klemm Foundation(2025), Museum of Contemporary Art of Rosario (2022), Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires (2022), PROA 21 (2019), National Endowment for the Arts (2018), and the Andreani Foundation Prize (2021), among others. In 2025, she was commissioned to develop an interactive installation for the former Central Post Office, where it remained on view and in use by the public throughout the year.
