Galería Elvira Moreno is proud to welcome Venezuelan artist Samuel Sarmiento as a new member of our represented artists. Sarmiento lives and works in Aruba. His artistic practice investigates the narrative and hermeneutic capacity of contemporary drawing and its connection with Caribbean oral traditions and orality mechanisms. His ceramics represent allegorical objects and semiotic devices, erecting images related to historical processes, extractivism, identity, reproducibility, migration, and mimesis.
Sarmiento’s research inquires into historical events to understand and reinterpret problems inherent to human survival, and identifies the exchanges and transatlantic connections that have linked humankind at different levels.
Sarmiento has participated in various individual and collective exhibitions in The Netherlands, United States, Spain, Greece, Aruba, Venezuela, Argentina, China, and now Colombia.
