Costa Rica, 1984
Visual artist and academic at the National University of Costa Rica. She holds a Ph.D. cum laude in Art: Production and Research (Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain). Her practice is situated in expanded printmaking, with a focus on latexgraphy—an original technique for recording, duplicating, and printing epidermal surfaces.
Her work interweaves the technical possibilities of latexgraphy with symbolic meanings around the communal body and the graphic memory inscribed on skin, developed through public workshops and collective exhibitions in Costa Rica, Spain, the United States, Poland, Panama, and Brazil.
She is the 2025 Winner of the National Visual Arts Salon (Costa Rica) and recipient of the Special Prize at the Krakow International Print Triennial (Poland). Her solo show Embodied Memory was presented at the Leon Wyczółkowski District Museum (Poland), and her work has been featured in Printmaking Today.
