Luz Carabaño

Luz Carabaño's small scale paintings explore perceptual and sensorial shifts. Her works, usually in oil on linen that is stretched over individually shaped panels, propose different ways of looking and engaging with images that feel both of this world and internal. Interested in ideas of retracing, fragmentation, and displacement, each painting is a response to sights and gestures that Carabaño encounters. She works through the information in these references and intuitively allows for the image to become something else, an echo, a new form.
