Kenya Arakama

Kenya Arakama is a contemporary visual artist known for her evocative exploration of memory, identity, and the natural world through mixed media. Born in Madrid in 1992, Arakama’s practice draws on her multicultural heritage and her experiences living between Spain and the Basque Country. Her work often fuses painting, photography, and installation, resulting in immersive pieces that invite viewers into richly layered inner landscapes.

Arakama’s distinct approach involves integrating organic materials and found objects, reflecting her fascination with the passage of time and the traces left by human presence. She has exhibited widely across Europe, with solo shows in Madrid, Bilbao, and Paris, and her works are held in both private and public collections. Through her art, Arakama seeks to questions narratives of belonging and displacement, creating spaces where personal and collective histories can intersect and evolve.
