Miriam Londoño in her studio

For more than twenty years, Miriam Londoño’s (b. 1955) artistic production has focused on working with paper and on the possibility of expanding its uses as a medium, exploring three-dimensional and sculptural drawing and writing.

As a subject matter, Londoño explores migration, communication, and social exclusion, focusing on how traumatic experiences can cause identity crises and cracks in memories. Reflecting on her personal experience as a migrant, she became interested in language and communication, producing an artistic body of work that visually focuses on written texts.

Educated in her home country of Colombia, as well as Italy and Barcelona, Londoño has placed works in collections across the globe. Her works have been included in exhibitions from the Negev Museum of Art, Be’er Sheva (Israel) to the Rijswijk Museum (The Netherlands).
