Biography

Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1984

 

          Fátima Pecci Carou's work challenges conventions and explores social issues from a unique and intimate perspective. She holds a degree in Visual Arts from the University of Museo Social Argentino (UMSA) and is a student of Art History at the University of Buenos Aires. Pecci Carou has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Argentina and abroad, earning recognition for her interdisciplinary approach.

          Standing out for her interdisciplinarity, Pecci Carou works at the intersection of painting, sound, and activism, delving into the political dimensions of these languages. Through her interior paintings, she creates visual narratives that propose a feminist revision of history. Her work is characterized by the use of anime and manga aesthetics, art historical references, and fragments of her autobiography as visual resources to challenge traditional representations of women in art and society. Often presented as comic strips themselves, these scenes depict "sexy" female characters in museum spaces, where humor and fantasy play important roles.

Her work reflects a deep commitment to exploring identity, politics, and personal narrative, providing a fresh and reflective perspective on the contemporary world.
