Ximena Lama

Ximena Lama is a Chilean visual artist born in Bolivia and based in Santiago de Chile. Her practice moves between collage, sculpture and installation, exploring themes of memory, femininity, consumer culture and contemporary visual imagery.

Working intuitively with found imagery from magazines, advertising and printed media, she constructs fragmented visual compositions where texture, color and accumulation play a central role. Through the transformation and recomposition of images and materials, her work reflects on identity, diversity and the cultural imaginaries that shape everyday experience.

Lama lived in Switzerland between 2004 and 2021, where she developed an important part of her artistic practice.

“My work moves between nostalgia and the present, constructing subjective realities through image, material and fragmentation.”
