BIO

María Dusamp (b. 1993) is a Colombian interdisciplinary artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her paintings and sculptures examine the loss of innocence, memory, and the body following transgressed intimacy. Dusamp has an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts (2020) and a BFA with Distinction and Honors in Communication Design from Pratt Institute (2017). She has exhibited in New York at Project for Empty Space, Wassaic Project, Winston Wächter Fine Art, La Mama Galleria, Artlot, and presented a solo show at 24EBroadway. She has shown virtually in Dear Artists, Tutu Gallery, SVA Galleries, and the Flatfile Gallery. Her works and writing have been published in Artzealous, 24EBroadway, and Dear Artists.

STATEMENT

Dusamp examines the loss of innocence, memory, and the body following transgressed intimacy in her abstract and figurative works. In her paintings, she presents voids and resurfacing layers of paint to hint at shared interpersonal and intergenerational strains. Her sculptures present avatars of survival, illusions of softness, swirling imagery, and traces of the body. Tactility, vulnerability, and a desire to touch stand center stage in her sculptures to depict a complex psyche. Dusamp creates molds of her clay-based sculptures and casts them in multiples with different treatments and materials.
