Lena Becerra: Contemporary Multi-Medium Artist and Sculptor

Lena Becerra is a distinguished Italo-Argentinian contemporary artist, born in 1994, who operates at the intersection of various artistic disciplines including sculpture, installation, and new media. Lena Becerra is widely recognized for her surgically arranged ecosystems, which delve into the complexities of social fabrics and the gestational stages of existence. Her practice is deeply rooted in philosophical and poetical inquiries, particularly focusing on the sensitive layers of xenofeminism and the blurring lines between technology, nature, sexuality, and gender. By creating hybrid organisms, she challenges established structures and invites a profound dialogue between personal and collective memory and trauma. Lena’s diverse training is reflected in her ability to place materials in constant tension, producing works that oscillate between the visceral seductiveness of life and the dark, threatening undertones of decay. Notable projects like Weaving black nests under the skin exemplify her exploration of inter-beings and oddkin—a concept describing humanity's need to connect across species. Her exhibitions have spanned global venues in Italy, Argentina, Germany, Spain, and Australia, highlighting her role in the international contemporary art scene. Through her use of glass, steel, and biological metaphors, Lena Becerra continues to redefine the boundaries of speculative art and biological inevitability.
