Carla Gasparrini

From a very young age, she became involved with the visual arts, initially training in the workshops of Daniel Fusaro and Viviana Zargón. Between 2014 and 2018, she attended the studio of artist and restorer Lucas Rocino, where she deepened her interest in drawing and line work. In 2016, she began a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts at the National University of the Arts (Argentina), and between 2020 and 2022, she studied on scholarship at the University of Vigo (Spain), where she completed her degree.

Her artistic practice is shaped by memory, everyday life, and emotional bonds, with a constant search to define a shared space between art and design. She chooses manual work as a form of resistance to contemporary speed, finding in the pencil a bridge between the external world and her inner universe. She works with people and places that have been significant in her life, exploring landscapes marked by experience, time, and silence.

She has participated in exhibitions in Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, and the United States, in institutions such as the Raúl Lozza Museum of Contemporary Art (Argentina), Fundación Casa Pronto (Junín), Puente Blanco Cultural Centre (San Luis), CTJV Gallery (Portugal), Pinta Lima (Peru), Fig Bilbao (Spain), Pazo de la Cultura (Pontevedra), and ARCO Madrid 2023 (Spain), among others.

In 2021, she curated the international exhibition Espazos Cóncavos y Convexos in Pontevedra, bringing together young Latin American and Spanish artists. She has been awarded the Special Prize Javier Rosón Pérez by the Ankaria Foundation (Spain, 2023) and received a scholarship from the Pigments Revealed Symposium (USA).

She is a member of the Instantes Gráficos collective, which for over 25 years has published, promoted, and exhibited artist books in Argentina. She is also part of the Associació de Pintors de les Places Sant Josep Oriol i Pi, a historic open-air painting exhibition in Barcelona (Spain).

Her work is part of collections such as the Ankaria Foundation (Madrid), the New York Public Library (USA), the Enric Bricall Library (Barcelona), and private collections in the United States and Spain.
