Portrait of Lorena Solis Bravo by Loes de Boer

Lorena Solís Bravo

Lorena Solís Bravo is a Peruvian artist based in Amsterdam whose practice merges scientific research, speculative thought, and poetry into films, performances, sculptures, and texts. Their work explores identity within the modern-colonial subject by tracing symbiotic relations with other species, dissolving boundaries between human and non-human. Using tools such as 3D modeling, CT scanning, and electron microscopy alongside alternative narratives, Solís Bravo critiques the hegemony of Western science and reimagines it from decolonial perspectives. Rooted in rigorous research, their practice unfolds into the poetic, the sensorial, and the dreamlike.
