The artist María Berrío is showing no signs of slowing down. After her survey at the Norton Museum of Art just a few years ago, Berrío has continued to garner the attention of major museums, galleries, and institutions across the world that have all connected deeply with her singular approach to artmaking and storytelling. Depictions of women, children, animals, and fantastical landscapes are imbued with conflicting dualities, such as nature versus humanity, to form complex visualizations of topics that are both deeply personal and universal. Politically charged, technically and aesthetically mesmerizing, her work is nothing short of ambitious, both in terms of the impressive scale she works in and the conceptual depth of her subjects and the narratives she portrays. Berrío’s unique ability to tell stories through imagery continues to make a remarkable impact on her growing list of supporters.
