KARIAN AMAYA ((Guadalajara, MX)

The artistic practice of Karian Amaya (Chihuahua, México 1986) revolves around the notion of the encounter. Through sculpture and photography, the artist questions the dialogues and resistances that originate between matter, landscape and their social and territorial contexts. Deeply influenced by the land art and post-minimalism movements, her work is rooted in the formal and narrative encounter of raw, natural and industrial materials.

Karian Amaya has a degree in visual arts from the University of Guadalajara and studied Mixed Media at The Art Students League of New York. Her work has been exhibited in Mexico, the United States and Europe. In 2024 she participated in the Biennial of the Border held at the El Paso Museum of Art. In 2025 she was part of a group show at Museo de Arte de Ciudad Juarez.
