Carmen Mosquera’s practice unfolds in the space between intention and discovery, where predetermined ideas give way to material experimentation and the unexpected. Working primarily through painting, she approaches the artwork as an open process of inquiry, allowing form, colour, and composition to emerge through a continuous dialogue between thought and action.
Drawing from a wide range of artistic references, Mosquera’s work is both outward-looking and self-reflective. Questions of construction, weight, materiality, support, and spatial boundaries play a central role in her practice, often serving as a means to explore vulnerability and the physical presence of the artwork.
Influenced by architecture and craftsmanship, she is particularly interested in rhythm, space, and the human dimension of making. Her work values process over virtuosity, emphasising authenticity, material intelligence, and a close attention to the relationship between people, objects, and the natural world. For Mosquera, the artwork itself remains the central point of departure and return, a space that invites careful observation and sustained listening.
