Stephano Espinoza Galarza was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He received a BA in Social and Cultural Analysis from New York University (2015) and an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University (2023). His work explores primal narratives, fantasies, and lost memories through an interdisciplinary practice. His subject matter are forms undergoing transformation, oscillating between physical object and depiction. He sources the content from memory, photos, and observation. Circular time, non-sequential narratives, and signifying chains frame the inner experience of his work. Through color, shifts in scale, and both pictorial and sculptural renderings, he proposes new forms of perception.
