Username | myriamz |
Bio | French, b. Morocco. Lives and works in Montevideo, Uruguay. She is a member of the Fundación de Arte Contemporáneo collective and of the Uncool Artist community. The starting point of her work is to generate reflection on the images produced by mass culture. By painting on newspapers, by erasing figures and faces, by rescuing some empty billboards, the artist is subverting some of the ways the images are disseminated and driving us us to re-consider these ephemeral objects or ruins of our contemporary world. Her intensely chromatic uneven paintings are inspired by real life and often extreme situations of human experience. She works also with drawings, photography and installations. Her work has been exhibited in Brazil, Uruguay and USA. -=≡=- Francesa, n. Marrocos. Vive e trabalha em Montevidéu, Uruguai.

Statement
Statement | Myriam Zini’s research has to do with the poetics of absence, the human disrepaired landscapes, the empty spaces. She erases figures and informations, removes the visible and identity, overlaps, to question and subvert the way the images are disseminated and the ways of looking at the world. -=≡=- A pesquisa de Myriam Zini tem a ver com a poética da ausência, as paisagens humanas degradadas e os espaços vazios. Ela apaga figuras e informações, retira o visÃvel e a identidade, sobrepõe, para questionar e subverter a forma como as imagens são divulgadas e as formas de olhar o mundo. Sua técnica é muitas vezes uma espécie de edição visual, absorvendo elementos da realidade como as grades e os espaços fraturados, camadas diferentes mas cobrindo, censurando, apagando, abstraindo e tornando opaco para reforçá-los. Pelas suas pinturas desiguais intensamente cromáticas, uma paleta de cores numa espécie de “cores sujas” reforçando esta sensação de deterioração, colapso, fracasso… ela parece estar a dizer-nos «a festa acabou».
