Daniela Vargas is a Colombian visual artist, trained at the Instituto Departamental de Bellas Artes in Cali. Her early studies in piano and violin influence the rhythm of her visual work. In 2017, she received a Jóvenes Talentos [Young Talents] grant from the Banco de la República de Colombia to pursue a Master’s in Artistic Production and Research at the University of Barcelona. Her artistic practice moves between the intimate and the symbolic, exploring themes such as the body, absence, waiting, interpersonal relationships, absence, waiting and memory, through installations, objects and sound. She has exhibited in Colombia, the U.S., and Europe, and currently lives in the United States.
