Sandra Gamarra Heshiki

Sandra Gamarra Heshiki uses figurative painting to question art and its mechanisms of representation, exhibition and commercialisation. Based on appropriation, her work functions as a mirror that displaces exhibition formats, alters the circuit of images, subverts the ownership of culture, as well as the narrative between the art object and the spectator. Within this field of research, the legacy of her country of origin generates a
syncretic gaze where pre-Columbian, colonial and Western cultures collide.
