Pia Ortuno

Pia Ortuno’s works straddle painting, sculpture and installation. The artist’s practice is rooted in her experiences growing up in Costa Rica – religion, colour and architecture feed into the lengthy process behind each work. Featuring rusted nails and even objects found whilst mud larking around London, Ortuno uses her materials to investigate the passage of time, rituals and materiality. The viewer is forced to stop and analyse the details of each work, surveying each object as an individual form and part of a larger object.
