Clara Grabowiecki is an Argentine visual artist, born in Buenos Aires in 1983. She studied in the studio of the prestigious Argentine visual artist Carlos Gorriarena, with whom she deepened her interest in artistic research in color. Her influence can be seen reflected in a radical vision about art that includes a special rigor and commitment in the way of approaching the work. In 2008, she was selected as artist-in-residence of the renowned Takt Berlin Artist Residency, an experience that broadened her creative horizons and fundamentally changed her artistic perspective. In 2016, driven by her curiosity Clara moves to Europe where she has the opportunity to immerse herself in the local art scene and make meaningful connections with other contemporary artists. There she completed the Master in Research in Art and Design at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Throughout her career, she has exhibited her work between Buenos Aires, Berlin, Beijing, Barcelona, Miami and London, in renowned spaces such as the San Martín Cultural Center, the Recoleta Cultural Center, Appetite Contemporary Art, ArteBA, Jardín Oculto, Wir Gallery, Big Sur, Fábrica Escocesa, La Virreina Centro de la Imagen, among others. Her work has been an integral part of notable festivals and exhibitions, such as the LOOP Festival, Visual Brasil and Teorema Festival. Her work has been featured in influential publications such as Diario Clarín, Revista Ramona, Arte al Día, Revista Ulisses and Wicked Mag. 




The work of Clara Grabowiecki is a journey into an interior cosmos. Passing through the figurative to the abstract, the images construct cosmologies of the imagination. The human and non-human world interact in interspecies entanglements that spread from dogs to botanical elements and spiral into atomic levels. An interwoven mesh of reality and understanding is threaded through physical and dream-worlds that narrate our infinitely complex interconnectedness. The surface of painting is the arena in which Grabowiecki uses color and form to align vibrational tendencies. The images are recognizable by a confident color palette that does not shy away from tropical tones and metallic glimmers that connected to a collective unconscious of the cultural psyche. The image contains both science-fiction and ancient narratives in a timeless suspension. The space of the mind is represented as a crystalized gesture to truth and purity. The crystal is symbolic of the purity of the soul when matter compresses into transparency.
