Myriam Zini
Born in Morocco, Zini has lived and worked in Montevideo, Uruguay, since 2016. Primarily a painter, she also explores drawing, photography, and installations. She is a member of the Fundación de Arte Contemporáneo (FAC) collective and has been part of the Uncool International Lab for Art Practices (ILAP) since 2021. Zini graduated in Visual Arts from the Escola Panamericana de Arte in Brazil, where she lived for ten years. Her work has been exhibited in Brazil, Uruguay, and the USA. Zini’s art subverts traditional image dissemination methods, such as newspapers and billboards, prompting a reconsideration of these ephemeral objects. Through painting on newspapers, erasing figures and faces, and repurposing empty billboards, she conveys a message of transience, as if saying, "the party is over."
