Clara de Tezanos
Clara de Tezanos (b. 1986) “Urumayan” artist based in Antigua, Guatemala. In 2018, her photobooks “Piedra-Padre, Universo” and “Por Maniobras de un Terceto” were shortlisted for the Paris Photo–Aperture First Book Award, PhotoEspaña Best Book of the Year, and Rencontres d'Arles Book Awards, among others.
Her most recent solo exhibitions include “Faites un Voeu” (Galerie La La Lande, 2024) and “La Fuente es el Sol” (Galería Rebelde, 2022), while her recent group exhibitions include “Americanas” (Casa Wabi, 2024) and “Prendre le Soleil” (HangarY, 2023). Recently completed her artistic residency at Casa Wabi, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Her most recent work, El Habitáculo, is a solar-powered installation and sacred shelter—a prismatic vessel vibrating in harmony with nature. Designed as a living antenna, it offers a portal to presence, stillness, and universal awe. Through every medium she touches, Clara invites us to ask quieter questions, to look toward the sky with grounded feet, and to remember that light has memory—and it’s speaking to us.
