Resumen
El ensayo-entrevista sobre Karla Solano, aborda los inicios de su obra en fotografía y el arte contemporáneo
y analiza el conocimiento del cuerpo humano como una de las grandes temática del arte y el reconocimiento
de su propio cuerpo como principal sujeto de estudio, central en sus distintas temáticas,
proyectos y exposiciones.
Al investigar el contexto de su crecimiento como persona creativa, fue indispensable valorar los procesos
culturales, políticos y sociales del entorno urbano donde ella creció, los cuales la formaron como
artista; lo anterior, con el objetivo de determinar la naturaleza de esas motivaciones e impacto en sus
recurrencias estilísticas y conceptuales. Asimismo, se busca abordar los hilos referenciales que entretejieron
sus percepciones al dar tan particular y genuino encaje a sus propuestas y focalizar, también, los
procesos de conformación de su lenguaje a partir del cuerpo, con sus profundos discursos sobre la vida
y la muerte, lo cual implica a sus propuestas en foto-video-instalaciones y performances.
Esta aproximación a su trabajo creativo marca el rumbo creativo de su búsqueda, permite intuir hacia
dónde dirige esas exploraciones y cartografías vivenciales, e invita a reflexionar sobre su valor en el arte
del siglo XXI en Costa Rica.
This essay-interview about Karla Solano deals with the beginning of her work in photography and the contemporary art. It analyzes her knowledge of the human body as one of the central themes of art, using her own body as the main subject of study, a recurrent theme of her projects and exhibitions. After investigating the context she grew up as a creative individual, it became crucial to analyze the cultural, political, and social processes of the urban environment where she was raised and emerged as an artist. It was also necessary to determine the nature of those motivators and their impact in her style and in the concepts she developed. The referential threads that interconnected her perceptions were also observed, since they granted a very particular way to make her proposals fit her scheme. Likewise, the nonverbal language using her own body as a starting point were appreciated. She conveys deep messages about life and death, for which photo-video, installations, and performances have become part of her work. This close look at her creative art sets the path of her also creative search, allowing us to infer the direction of her explorations and cartographic experiences and inviting us to reflect about her value in Costa Rican the XXI century art.
