Graduated in Philology and Languages from the National University of Colombia, Claudia BERNAL immigrated to Quebec in 1991 and completed her Master scholarship in French Linguistics at Laval University. Her on-going research on the different modalities of language lead her to concentrate on the multiple forms of esthetic expressions. She graduated in 1999 with a B.A. in Visual Arts/ Creation at the University of Quebec in Montreal, and started a M.A. in History of Latin American Art in Mexico City.
Claudia BERNAL has developed a particular approach focused on the fragmentation of urban space and its impact on society and culture. The concepts of movement, migration, space, identity, are recurrent in her artworks. As an interdisciplinary artist (installation, video, performance, etching, painting), she stands out for the originality, energy and power of her works, and for her involvement in the artistic and cultural scene here and abroad. She has presented both collective and solo exhibitions in Canada, Quebec, Colombia, Cuba, Argentina, Mexico and Germany. Colombia-born and Canadian, Claudia BERNAL lives and works in Montreal..

Nahúm Flores, Erik Jerezano, and Ilyana Martínez met one day and created a new entity – Z’otz* (Mayan word for “bat”) – an amalgamation of their personalities and a fusion of their artistic styles. Z’otz* appears weekly in the invented worlds it creates and inhabits. Here, these curious souls explore the freedom of the absurd through experimental collaboration. Z’otz* has taught these three artists to read images, forms and colours with their souls, and to respond viscerally to them. The emergence of this new beginning – Z’otz* – has been liberating, allowing them the space to let go, and play.
