この作品について
Chica con Paccha — natalia arbelaez
From the artist: “My work takes the place of a storyteller, from my personal narratives of my Colombian family’s immigration to the research of pre-Columbian South American presence, to my American, latchkey, afterschool cartoon upbringing. Each of these identities plays a role in my work to illustrate a self-portrait of what it is like to be a Mestizo, Colombian, and American hybrid. I combine these stories with research, familial narratives, and cartoon embellishments that create surreal stories, much to my efforts, of the likes of Gabriel García Márquez. A way to autobiographically narrate history with its ups and downs of humor and tears. I use my work to research undervalued histories, such as, Latin American, Amerindian, and Women of Color. I work with how these identities are lost through conquest, migration, and time, gained through family, culture, exploration, and passed down through tradition, preservation, and genetic memory. In my research I have found value in my histories and aim to help continue my cultures by preserving and honoring them. I’ve embraced my use of craft and clay not only in my process but also in historical and cultural research. In my researching of lost, conquered, and overlooked communities, I have found that craft belongs in my pursuit. I relate to the role of the craftsperson, often linked to women’s work, working class, and cultural tradition. The material also plays an important role as I examine the history of my ancestral material. Like how Terra-cotta has been seen historically as a lesser material and Majolica glaze brought over from Europe and used as a surface to hide terra-cotta, metaphors I use describe colonization.”
アーティストと美術館
生誕地 Miami, United States of America
Natalia Arbelaez, a Colombian-American artist born in Miami, Florida in 1983, embodies a compelling intersection of cultural heritage and artistic innovation. Her work transcends mere sculpture; it is a deeply personal storytelling medium, woven with the threads of immigration, identity, and the preservation of marginalized histories. Raised by immigrant parents, Arbelaez’s early life was marked by a unique fluidity—a childhood split between the vibrant energy of Miami and the ancestral lands of Colombia. This initial displacement sparked an enduring fascination with belonging, memory, and the complex negotiation of self that permeates her artistic practice. The experience of relearning Spanish upon returning to the United States at age ten became a pivotal moment, igniting a desire to actively reconnect with a culture seemingly lost in translation.
Arbelaez’s artistic journey began as a means of communication and self-discovery during her formative years. She pursued formal training, earning a BFA from Florida International University followed by an MFA from The Ohio State University with an Enrichment Fellowship. It was during these academic pursuits that her focus crystallized—a commitment to figurative sculpture as a vehicle for exploring themes of identity through the lens of her own family’s narratives and broader Latin American histories. Her work isn't simply about these stories; it actively seeks to resurrect them, giving form to experiences often overlooked or silenced. This reclamation is powerfully evident in her use of traditional Latin American and Amerindian processes and iconography, a deliberate act of honoring ancestral techniques and knowledge systems. Arbelaez’s sculptures are not static objects but rather vessels containing layers of meaning—personal anecdotes interwoven with the collective memory of generations.
Arbelaez's mastery extends beyond conceptual depth to encompass a remarkable command of materials. While primarily known for her ceramic sculptures, she fearlessly incorporates diverse mediums—metal, wood, wax, glass, fibers, plaster, and rubber—each chosen for its unique ability to convey texture, symbolism, and emotional resonance. Clay, however, remains central to her practice. She doesn’t simply mold the clay; she coaxes stories from it, employing techniques that echo ancient traditions while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of contemporary sculpture. The use of terracotta, often juxtaposed with lustrous glazes like gold or white majolica, is particularly significant—a visual metaphor for colonization and the layers of history embedded within the material itself. Her sculptures frequently eschew precise anatomical representation, opting instead for an “essence” of the body, allowing memory and ancestral presence to take precedence over literal form. This deliberate abstraction creates a space for viewers to project their own experiences onto the work, fostering a deeper connection with the narratives being presented.
Arbelaez’s dedication to her craft and commitment to social justice have garnered significant recognition within the art world. She was named NCECA's 2018 Emerging Artist, a testament to her innovative approach and powerful voice. Her year-long residency at Harvard University provided invaluable space for research into pre-Columbian art and histories, further enriching her practice. She also served as an artist in residence at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City, where she focused on researching influential women ceramicists of color—a project that underscores her commitment to amplifying marginalized voices within the field. Beyond her individual achievements, Arbelaez is a dedicated educator and co-founder of The Color Network, an organization devoted to supporting artists of color in ceramics. This initiative reflects her belief in the power of community and mentorship, ensuring that future generations have access to opportunities often denied to underrepresented groups. Her work can be found in prominent museum collections including the Fuller Craft Museum, the Everson Museum of Art, MAD Museum, and ICA Miami.
Natalia Arbelaez's contribution extends beyond the creation of beautiful objects; she is actively shaping a more inclusive and nuanced art historical narrative. By centering the experiences of immigrants, Latin American communities, and women of color, she challenges conventional canons and invites viewers to reconsider established power structures within the art world. Her sculptures are not merely representations of identity but rather powerful acts of resistance—a reclaiming of history, a celebration of cultural heritage, and a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit. Arbelaez’s work serves as a vital bridge between past and present, reminding us that memory is not simply something we inherit but something we actively construct and preserve through art, storytelling, and unwavering dedication to social justice. Her ongoing exploration of these themes promises a continued dialogue—a conversation that will undoubtedly shape the future of contemporary sculpture for years to come.
