Valentina Alvarado Matos is a visual artist working across analogue film, ceramics, collage, and installation. Her practice explores the intersections of image, materiality, and landscape. Through processes of fragmentation, translation, and transformation, she investigates how memory is embedded in materials and gestures, and how diasporic experience reshapes our relationship to place, language, and belonging.
Rooted in collage as both a medium and a methodology, her work moves between analogue film, paper, voice, and clay, approaching each material as a different way of recording, transmitting, and transforming experience. Her projects often unfold through long-term artistic research, combining moving image, installation, and material experimentation.
