1998. Santa Fe, Santa Fe. Argentina

Madalí Pizarro works with scenes that take place in the northern part of her city, observing and translating into images the context where she lives and works. She has found in ceramics numerous possibilities to experiment with textures and colors that evoke the feelings carried by the experiences she brings us: the earth, the street, the mud, the people, and the neighborhoods.

Pizarro uses local clay as her raw material, which she collects from the waterways that surround her. This material allows her to create a link between the expressiveness of her images and the symbolism of the medium. Through drawing, clay, and recovered materials found in dumpsters and on the street, she reconstructs narratives that cross both her collective and personal experience.

Her artistic practice remains in constant dialogue with the people around her—on her paths and in the spaces where she offers workshops. There, she learns to think of her artistic production as a medium deeply shaped by the social context she inhabits.

She graduated with a focus in production from the School of Visual Arts “Professor Juan Mantovani.” In 2022, she was selected for the “Tiempo Compartido” program at the CEC in Santa Fe, where she participated in the group exhibition Trinchera. In 2023, she took part in the collective show Arquitectura Sensible with the artist and educator collective #En Una Relación.

In 2025, she held her solo exhibition Que se vayan todos at CRUDO, Rosario. In 2023, she was invited by Bienal Sur to present her solo exhibition El barro y la historia, curated by Clarisa Appendino, at the “Sor Josefa Díaz y Clucellas” museum.

Together with CRUDO, she participated in the art fairs +Feria de Santa Fe (2023 and 2025, Santa Fe) and ArteCo (2024, Corrientes).

Madalí Pizarro currently lives, studies, and works in the city of Santa Fe.
