CAROLINA FERREYRA-LEHMKUHL
Carolina Ferreyra was born in Argentina.
She graduated in Art History from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987 and has trained as a visual artist in Buenos Aires, Geneva, New York, and London. She alternates between figurative and abstract composition in photography, sculpture, mixed media, prints, and collage.
She studied Visual arts with artists Miguel Davila, and Kenneth Kemble and worked for several years for Sotheby’s auction house in Buenos Aires and New York until 1990.
From 1989 until 1991 she followed certificate courses at New York University and The Arts Students League in New York.
For twenty seven years until 2017 she lived in Geneva, Switzerland where she followed courses at the University of Visual Arts of Geneva with the visual artist Monika Kaminska and the sculptor Jo Fontaine and private courses with the photographer Aline Kundig.
Since 2017 she lives in London and actively participates in workshop at the Heatherley's School of Arts.
Her distinctive visual art territory is that about insinuation, ambiguity, intuition, and imprecision more than description.
"Nothing I do is definite and can quickly change course ever remaining irresolute with a preference to insinuate rather than to describe. Spontaneity and accident are big parts of my doing . I like exploring and give form to the noise there is in my mind in a contemplative way which gives me a sense of freedom as there is no predetermined plan"
