Claudia Kaatziza Cortínez is an Argentine American visual artist based in Brooklyn whose practice spans photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Working with light-sensitive chemistries, pigment, and paper pulp, she explores how image and material register memory through processes of imprint and transformation. Often beginning with site-based research, she creates tactile, layered works that register the textures and architectures of lived spaces, engaging landscapes shaped by transformation, displacement, and renewal. She has received support from the Yale Norfolk Teaching Fellowship, Silver Art Projects, Rema Hort Mann Foundation, the Center for Book Arts, and LES Printshop, among others, and is currently a Printmaking Fellow at the Manhattan Graphics Center at Powerhouse Arts. She received her BFA from RISD and her MFA from Yale.
