CARMEN REATEGUI

Lima, Peru 1946

Peruvian visual artist whose work intertwines myth, history, and matter. 

Rooted in the gesture of offering and the power of the feminine, her practice explores the intersections of mestizaje and memory. Between the sacred and the profane, she transforms matter—gold, stone, or waste—into a symbol of redemption and inquiry. Her language bridges the ancestral and the contemporary with the force of revelation.
