Carmen Molina is a Bogotá-born artist based in Los Angeles. She studied photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York.

Working through photography, Molina gathers gestures from the visible world. Light, color, material, and transformation become photographic fragments that she recomposes into abstract compositions layered with memory and emotion.

In 2015, Molina presented THIS IS at Galería Sextante in Bogotá. The exhibition proposed a simple premise: every image on view, despite its painterly appearance, was constructed entirely from photography.

Over time, an interest in materiality led her to silk as a substrate. Drawn to its luminosity, fluidity, and living origin, she began translating her photographic compositions into textile, investigating how images could be experienced not only as photographs, but through movement, tactility, and the presence of the body.

In 2019, this exploration expanded into ready-to-wear through a presentation at Bergdorf Goodman in New York, eventually giving rise to CARMEN, a practice dedicated to photographic compositions on silk.
