Rosario López Parra studied Fine Arts at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, and then received an MA in Sculpture from the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London.
She combines landscape photography and sculptural installation to explore nature and the eruption of forces involved within nature. López Parra does not map or document landscape but seeks to transform the unseen forces of wind and temperature into tangible sensations, placing both photographs of structures and the installation of these structures inside the gallery in an attempt to visualize the invisible and create a sculptural space between object, spectator and gallery. Although she draws from Minimalism and Land Art, her work diverges from these traditions as she merges the political and the transcendental to later return the work to the gallery space, opening a continuum between nature and the white cube, landscape and its representation.
