About

Talita Zaragoza, born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1985, is an artist working with painting, drawing, and photography. Her inspiration is rooted in the dynamic between humanity and nature, exploring our urge to shape and control the landscape.

In her paintings and drawings, Zaragoza weaves together landscapes from memory, creating a realm reminiscent of ever-changing maps. These maps adapt to shifts in politics, the environment, and the viewer's perspective. As observers, we are in constant flux, projecting ourselves into the landscape and, consequently, into her art.

Since 2012, Zaragoza has been based in New York, where she studied at the International Center for Photography (ICP), focusing on Fine Arts photography. She holds a B.A. in Fine Arts (2008) and a Master’s degree in Art History (2010) from Fundação Alvares Penteado (FAAP) in São Paulo, Brazil.

Her work has been exhibited internationally, notably in São Paulo and New York, at venues like Nars Foundation, Carmo Johnson Projects, Foley Gallery, Lazy Susan Gallery, Emma Thomas Gallery, and The International Center for Photography. Zaragoza has also completed artist residencies in the United States, including The Hollows in New York, The Marble House in Vermont, and one in Iceland at The Fish Factory.

Zaragoza's artistry transcends borders, with projects spanning Brazil and the United States. She is represented by Gisela Gueiros Projects and is currently a resident at Residency Unlimited in New York City.
