Rosario Zorraquín
(b. 1984, Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Rosario Zorraquín (b. 1984, Buenos Aires, Argentina) studied at the Universidad Nacional de Arte. She was a Beca Kuitca scholar at the Universidad Torcuato di Tella and participated in residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta, Canada; Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP) in São Paulo, Brazil; and Performing Arts Forum (PAF) in St. Erme, France. Through probing experiments around language and the practice of recording human experience, Zorraquín seeks new spaces and synchronous worlds through her paintings and installations. Inspired by shamanism, magic, and psychoanalysis, the artist uses a self-made system of symbols to conduct rituals that verbalize the unvoiced thoughts of friends and strangers. She creates dialogues that become the inner narratives of her diaphanous canvases, as her work functions as a container, a portal, existing in a borderland.
