Paula Niño (Colombia/Germany)

Paula Niño (*1993) is an interdisciplinary artist from Bogotá, Colombia, where she received a BFA with honours in 2016, at the Pontifical Javeriana University. Later, in 2024, she completed her studies in Fine Arts, Painting and Graphics (Prof. Schirin Kretschmann) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany. Her artistic practice arises from a constant curiosity about life, the feeling of belonging somewhere, the invisible frame of every story, and all the ordinary things we have no explanation for. Themes such as migration, identity and memory emerge, which in turn are interwoven with the experience of writing and material processes. Her most recent works and research critically examine the migration policies of the countries she has lived in and expose them through hybrid and experimental installations where an intimate and personal voice reveals collective issues on a larger scale.
