Carola Orieta-Sperman

Artist Carola Orieta-Sperman, known as "C.O.S," was born in Argentina. Since 2000, she has lived and worked in Miami, Florida. She studied architecture at Belgrano University in Buenos Aires and graduated with an Interior and Fashion Design degree from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). After graduating, she worked for over eight years as a fashion designer with Argentinian Haute Couture Fashion Designer Beatriz Toscano, from whom she inherited the processes of “molderia” and “entretela” as foundational creation methods for her art.

She has developed a solid conceptual approach to contemporary sculptures and editioned bidimensional artworks, where interweaving forms dominate in an infinite pattern of entwining and crisscrossing structures; flowing, melded, and fluxed models that coalesce with one another in ceaseless movement. Her sculptures are made from laser-cut acrylic molded by hand. Her two-dimensional works are reconfigurations of these sculptural forms, fictionally and creatively transposed onto the bi-dimensional plane, in which the artist uses post-produced image collage.
