Virginia Urreiztieta is a Venezuelan artist and filmmaker based in Mexico City.
Virginia Urreiztieta is a multidisciplinary Venezuelan artist, working across both painting and filmmaking, currently based in Mexico City. Her visual work focuses on the use of color as a language rich in symbolism. She explores how color, beyond being a mere visual property, becomes a vessel for experiences and emotions, much like words. The shapes in her work serve merely as containers for tonal masses that act as vehicles for the intangible: the subconscious expressed through chromatic ranges. This process of capturing the subtle and implicit through color transforms her work into an intimate dialogue between the visible and the emotional, the conscious and the unconscious.
Virginia studied architecture and attended the film program at New York University, where she directed several short films that have premiered at international festivals. Additionally, this year she was selected for the open call by *Abstract Mag* (@abstract.mag).
