Artists

1998. Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Argentina

Madalí Pizarro works with scenes that take place in the north of her city (Santa Fe), observing and translating into images the context in which she lives and works. She found in ceramics numerous possibilities to experiment with textures and colors that approximate the senses carried by the experiences she brings to us: the earth, the street, the clay, the people, and the neighborhoods.

Pizarro uses local clay, extracted from the surrounding waterways, as her primary material. This material allows her to create a link between the effusive nature of the images and the symbolism of the material. Through drawing, clay, and reclaimed materials found in dumpsters and on the street, she reconstructs those narratives that traverse her collective and personal experiences.

Her artistic practice maintains a constant dialogue with the people around her on her journeys and in the spaces where she offers workshops. There, she learns to think of her artistic production as a medium strongly influenced by the social context she inhabits.

She completed secondary school at “Juan Bautista Bustos” with a focus on Visual Arts. Currently, she is finishing her degree in Visual Arts Education with a focus on production at the School "Juan Mantovani." She is part of the collective of artists and educators "En una relación."

In 2022, she was selected for the “Tiempo compartido” program at the CEC in the city of Santa Fe, where she participated in the group exhibition with the production "Trinchera." In 2023, she participated in the collective exhibition “Arquitectura Sensible” with the collective of artists and educators “#En Una Relación.”

In 2023, she was invited by Bienal Sur to participate in the City Museum of Santa Fe "Sor Josefa Diaz y Clucellas," where she held the solo exhibition "El barro y la historia", curated by Clarisa Appendino. That same year, together with CRUDO, she participated in the +Feria de Arte Santa Fe.

In 2024, alongside CRUDO, she presented a solo show at the ArteCo fair in Corrientes.

Currently, Madali Pizarro lives, studies, and works in the city of Santa Fe.
