UNTITLED

The starting point for Bettina Brizuela's exploration of the eye as a pictorial motif was her grandmother's blue eyes, an intimate spark that ignited a deeper investigation. In her artwork, the eye becomes a mirror of human emotion: love and hatred, joy and anger, tenderness and tension. It is both witness and messenger, the gaze of the past and the present cast upon ourselves.

Bettina Brizuela is an artist and gallery manager based in Asunción, Paraguay. She studied art at the Brazilian Study Center with Livio Abramo and at the Higher Institute of Art of the National University of Asunción. Alongside her artistic practice, she has been active in supporting contemporary art initiatives, notably as co-manager of the Larissa Jiménez / Planta Alta Gallery and currently as director of Fuga V. Morra, an independent space for contemporary art.

In her work, Bettina Brizuela explores themes of everyday life and domesticity, often cathartic, always reflective of the world around her. Her ideas surface gradually, shaped by time and attention. Lately, she seeks spontaneity, even if it disrupts the rhythm of creation. For Brizuela, art and life are inseparable. She works across different media and materials, allowing each idea to find its own form. Her practice draws on the urban landscape of Asunción, its people, objects, and daily life, transforming the streets into a site of observation and an endless source of inspiration.
