Laura Camila Medina is an interdisciplinary artist born in BogotΓ‘, Colombia. Her practice is deeply inspired by the kisses between mountains and sky of her birthplace, intertwined with the thematic fantasy-scape and cultural microcosms of Central Florida. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and moving images she explores ππ½π πΎππππππΆπ ππΆππΉππΈπΆπ π; a site in constant reconstruction that imagines the collaged composition of memory and the framework of identity. She is interested in the evolution of Andean miniature practices, scale theory, the fallacies of the American Dream, and magical realism as an approach to auto-ethnography.
Her work has been exhibited at Sculpture Center (Cleveland), The Luminary, Yossi Milo, David Castillo Gallery, SPURS, Arts Fort Worth, Fuller Rosen Gallery, the Portland Art Museum, and Nationale.
In 2025, she was awarded the Creative Impact Fund from Assembly for the Arts and the SPACES Satellite Fund. Other recognitions include the H. Lee Hirsche Memorial Prize, Deanβs Travel Grant, and CCAM Fellowship from Yale University, Individual Artist Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission, and the New Media Fellowship at Open Signal. Sheβs participated in various residencies including: Virreina, the Living School of Art, ACRE, Signal Fire, and Centrum.
