In 1999, Haruhi Hayashi moved to London to study at Goldsmiths College, where she received an MFA in Fine Art in 2004. Since 2014, she has been living and working in Bogotá, Colombia, bringing an international perspective to her work. Her recent research focuses on late 20th-century modernist architecture and painting, exploring the relationship between their formal aspects and utopian ideas. Through drawings, sculptures, and installations, she approaches these themes from a contemporary perspective, creating contrasts between modernist geometric forms and contemporary elements. Her work explores the dreamlike concepts, hopes and anxieties that emerge from her work, using fairy tales, self-help literature and luxury goods to examine the "oscillation of feelings" in social and personal contexts. Deeply informed by early 20th-century Suprematist art and the evolution of modernity in contemporary plastic art, this work uses elements whose fragility opposes the intention of permanence in modernity's materiality.
Her exhibitions include "I don't know if I can keep dreaming," which was shown in the Universidad de Los Andes project room in 2016. Since 2018, she has developed creative workshops in art and participated in several group exhibitions in the UK and Europe.
