Eduardo Motato Sierra (Cali, 1983) holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Departmental Institute of Fine Arts in Cali. His practice focuses primarily on painting and includes research-creation processes, mural projects, and pedagogical work. He has participated in solo and group exhibitions in Cali, Bogotá, and internationally, including in Mexico. He was a featured artist in the Galería Gris New Collectors catalog during ArtBo Weekend 2022.

His work has been exhibited in both institutional and independent spaces and has received recognition, such as an honorable mention for his undergraduate thesis, "Pictorial Bodies." As a member of the ARBUSTA collective – artistic practices – he has received recognition from the Secretary of Culture for his exhibitions of visual and plastic arts. He has also gained experience curating exhibitions at institutions such as the La Tertulia Museum, as well as participating in cultural and community projects in the city of Cali.

CURATORIAL TEXT FOR THE EXHIBITION - LIGHTWEIGHT BASE:

His work establishes itself as a laboratory of urban memory and reformulates painting not as an aspiration to the eternal or the classical, but as a device for rescue. Motato roams the city, collecting fragments of the urban environment—the ephemeral, the discarded, that which is consumed and forgotten—to extract its pictorial potential.

The exhibition is structured around two conceptual axes that explore the transformation of matter: "1055 Lightweight Base for More Copies" is a series that uses a hybrid support of found objects, representing pipes made from soda bottle caps, straws, rubber, and aluminum. It is an act of revival, giving new life to the discarded and questioning the precarious economies that operate outside of formal logic. In her work "Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear," Motato reclaims the traces of rampant consumerism, elevating the residue of ballots to the status of primary pictorial material.

Motato avoids explicit denunciation. Her realism, combined with an unexpected abstraction, opens an ethical debate by placing marginalized objects at the center of the composition. The work moves between empathy and distance, challenging the viewer to confront their individual morality in the face of marginality. Her painting is an active contemplation, forcing us to look and redeem what society, in its haste, has closed off.

Based in Montréal, Khan creates drawings, mixed-media works, and performative research rooted in over a decade of independent study in theoretical physics, microscopy, and the aesthetics of complex systems. Her practice foregrounds mark-making as a method of inquiry, using visual experimentation to explore non-linear time, emergent behaviour, and the invisible architecture of the systems of nature.

For the past ten years, Khan has developed a unique artistic vocabulary through microscopic observation, studying anomalies, materials, and temporal patterns as pathways into understanding how systems evolve. This research forms the foundation of long-term projects such as Micro-Frequencies for Prayer and A Bird’s Eye View of Hot and Cold Secrets, her 2024 solo exhibition at Gesù in Montréal. Her current work investigates wormholes, black holes, entanglement, and post-human landscapes through drawing and science-informed visualization.

Khan is the founder of ILM Collective, a transdisciplinary platform where artists, scientists, composers, and systems thinkers engage in dialogue to generate new artworks and new ways of sensing complexity. Through ILM, Khan has facilitated and documented exchanges with physicists, musicians, ecologists, and behavioural scientists. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Canada, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom, with presentations and workshops hosted by the National Theatre School, Wolf Willow Institute, The Imaginarium, Aga Khan University Hospital, and Concordia University. She has received support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec (Vivacité Grant).

Khan’s interdisciplinary engagements include collaborations ecology, medical environments, and community-based art. Her research interests encompass cosmology, microscopy, non-linear clocks, cognitive mapping, Sufi epistemologies, and interfaith ritual. Across these domains, Khan approaches art as a form of inquiry—an embodied practice that makes visible the hidden patterns and subtle forces shaping our interconnected worlds.

I graduated from the Université de Montreal in 2010 with a degree in filmmaking and I have a Master’s in Visual and Fine Arts from La Universidad Nacional de Colombia. I’m currently living in Montréal working on my second Masters, in English Literature. I’ve painted (almost) all my life and I haven’t gone a day without drawing since September 23 2013. I’ll be buried with a book or two next to me. Worry not.

My first contact with Art came through books, more specifically, with the bits of encyclopedia that came with the Sunday supplement of the newspaper. These glossy images were for me a constant source of joy and amazement. They were my first form of external comfort, the first baby steps towards an affective fetishism in books and deliciously printed images or illustrations. My first crush as a toddler was the Infanta Margarita – ‘nuff said.

So by the time it was my turn in life to decide what career to choose, there was no doubt in my mind about what I wanted to do, the only hitch-glitch remaining was: how? How does one go about doing Art? The question still haunts me. But now, with a good ten years of working in arts, I’m happy to say I don’t have an answer. Which is just another way of saying: it’s only the work that matters, the time invested, the feeling involved, and ultimately, the daily discipline…

Emmanuel’s practice is centered in the interrelationship between medium and technology as a physical condensation of information, so he usually pays attention to the material and technical processes within the production of things. He disassembles, combines, and reorganizes deposed and new objects, materials, and technologies to build scenarios and things in which enigmatic associations trigger alternative narratives to our capitalist notion of progress. Thus, Emmanuel’s intention is to invite viewers to stage other realities by reflecting on their own sensorial experience of the artworks.

Emmanuel is winner of the National Hall of Visual Arts in the three-dimensional category with “The fish-tank” (2022), organized by the Costa Rican Art Museum, as well as two-time winner of the Elspeth McConnell Fine Arts Award (2023-24), given by the Concordia Faculty of Fine Arts to work at the Atelier La Coulée.

Her artistic trajectory has recently undergone a transformative shift, driven by a profound interest in surrealism and the enigmatic realms of the unconscious. This newfound fascination has led her into a world, the exploration of which has revolutionized Maryam’s earliest collection of works. Primarily oil on canvas, these pieces portray magical and visionary worlds inhabited by otherworldly entities and archetypal symbols. She creates them automatically without any predetermined thought, pattern, or intention.
