About me ...


I live by the art   - אני גר אמנות  -  yo vivo el arte

I want confidants, not only clients !


My name is Matilde Cánepa González

I am a Berlin-based contemporary visual artist working across sculpture, mixed media painting and conceptual artistic research. My work connects contemporary sculpture, Latin American visual culture and interdisciplinary art practices.

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, where I received my early artistic training at the Cristóbal Rojas School of Fine Arts. I later continued my studies in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, exploring painting, design techniques and experimental artistic processes.

For more than twenty years I have developed a distinctive visual language that combines symbolic calligraphy, organic structures, textured surfaces and layered materials. My artistic practice integrates contemporary sculpture, mixed media painting, assemblage and relief techniques, as well as poetic writing and artistic reflection.

 

 

 In my sculptures I work with wood, ceramic fragments, stoneware, pigments and metal elements, creating tactile surfaces that evoke archetypal forms, mythological imagery and symbolic narratives. My paintings are often created on paper or canvas using acrylic, ink, watercolor and mixed media.

Today I work from my studio in Berlin, where I continue to develop contemporary sculptures, paintings and interdisciplinary art projects.
