Carolina Muñoz (Santiago, Chile, 1985) is an artist with a degree in Visual Arts from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, with a diploma in Aesthetics of Photography from the same institution. She has developed her career in both photography and painting.
In her paintings she generates bases produced by random stains on paper, which she then uses to create another world, a dimension without control, where everything could be allowed.
She has collaborated in editorial projects such as Sub30 (2014), a book that compiles the work of 60 young Chilean artists, and Ojo Andino Chile (2015), a publication by Luciano Benetton that brings together more than 170 works by Chilean artists.
Carolina has participated in national and international competitions, having an outstanding performance in the MAVI/Minera Escondida Prize for Young Artists in Santiago, being part of the final selection on six occasions (2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018), and obtaining the Second Prize in 2018. She has been part of the final selection in the 2016 Focus-Abengoa International Painting Prize in Seville, and won 2nd Prize in the BBVA Young Artespacio Prize in 2017, in Santiago.
The artist has participated in the ArtStgo (2018) and FAXXI (2015, 2016, 2017) art fairs, where she won the GDF Suez Art Competition in 2015; as well as Ch.ACO (2018) in Santiago, Art Central Hong Kong (2019), and Contemporary Istanbul (2019) in Turkey, with Isabel Croxatto Galería.
In 2016, Carolina presented her first solo exhibition, Fugas. Imagination is not Fantasy, at Centro Cultural Las Condes, in Santiago. She has participated in several group exhibitions, including shows in spaces such as the Museo de Arte Moderno de Chiloé (Chile), XS Gallery and Madhaus Gallery in Santiago. Blanco Universal, presented in August 2019 with curatorial text by Chilean artist and curator César Gabler, was her first solo show with Isabel Croxatto Galería.
In March 2020, she was part of the Proyecto URRA artist residency program in Tigre, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, after being chosen as the winner of the LazoCordillera Foundation scholarship in Santiago.
Carolina Muñoz lives and works in Santiago de Chile.
