Carmen Ceniga Prado

Lives and works in Seoul, South Korea | Born 1995
Carmen Ceniga Prado uses her work as a medium to reconnect with the internal body and its cycles of subtle shape-shifting. Through abstract painting and carved wooden sculptures, her works grapple with the invisible but potent pulses of vitality that move through and around us. Using the body as a starting point, the pieces reflect the range of emotional states or embodied sensations, such as darkness, clarity, anxiety, and the moments in between.

Recent notable shows include Rite of Passage at Sullivan+Strumpf, Singapore (2024); Unbearable Lightness at ROH Projects, Jakarta, Indonesia (2023); Rationale for Fables, Singapore (2023), New Makers at Atta Gallery, Bangkok, Thailand (2023); Entre Aguas at Aldama Fabre Gallery, Bilbao, Spain (2022); and At Dusk, We Tread the Earth at starch, Singapore (2022).
