About my work

Eduardo Navarro (born in Argentina 1979; lives and works in Uruguay) creates works rooted in a strong belief in the power of deliberate uncertainty, intuition and curiosity and the place where language allows us to inhabit the space of non-human entities such as a cloud, a flower or an octopus and to imagine how they sense the world and communicate in it. His practice expands in a series of mediums, such as sculpture, drawing and performance and invites those who experience them to enter a state of deeper contemplation, which the artist hopes will blur the illusory boundary between the inside and outside world, knowledge and nature.
