BIO
Jesús Moreno-Granados is a multidisciplinary artist whose career spans sculpture, sound art, and visual research. He was awarded with the prize “Emerging Artist” on 2013 by the Association Internationale des Critiques d’Art AICA Venezuelan chapter.
His works are part of the collection of the Rómulo Gallegos Center for Latin American Studies (CELARG) in Caracas, as well as private collections in Venezuela, Colombia, the United States, and Spain.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, 1981, is a Venezuelan sculptor and interdisciplinary artist currently based in Bern, Switzerland. His practice spans sculpture, installation, drawing, and sound art, exploring the relationship between space, materiality, perception, and contemporary systems of connectivity.
He was trained in drawing, painting, sculpture and soundart in Venezuela, Spain and Colombia; a 18 years of formative experience that have expanded his practice toward audiovisual and immersive environments.
Moreno-Granados’ work is characterized by the use of diverse materials such as metal, wood, paper, resins, industrial components, and sound. His sculptural forms often evoke organic structures—suggestive of botanical, entomological, or biological systems—while simultaneously referencing architecture, industrial design, and technological interfaces. Through assemblage and spatial composition, his works blur distinctions between the natural and the artificial, the tangible and the immaterial.
Conceptually, his practice investigates space as a continuous and relational field rather than a fixed container. Themes such as flow, connectivity, territory, perception, and the notion of “the living” recur throughout his work. Sound plays a key role in his installations, functioning as an invisible material that activates space and deepens the viewer’s sensory experience. His installations often operate as immersive environments that invite contemplation and critical reflection on contemporary modes of existence.
Furthermore, from a very young age words have been an integral part of the artist's creative work. In this sense, he has been developing poetry and narrative works in parallel with his visual art, earning several awards and recognitions in this field.
Since the early 2010s, Moreno-Granados has exhibited extensively in Venezuela, Colombia, and internationally. Notable projects include Continuo Habitable (CELARG, Caracas), I/O (Espacio Monitor, Caracas), and Formae Viventium (Galería 12:00, Bogotá), where his work increasingly engages with ideas of complexity, organic systems, and post-digital realities. His practice has evolved from modular and cartographic explorations of space toward large-scale installations that articulate hybrid ecosystems combining sculpture, sound, and spatial intervention.
Through a language that merges conceptual rigor with sensorial experience, Jesús Moreno-Granados positions his work at the intersection of contemporary sculpture, sound art, and spatial research, proposing art as a reflective tool for understanding the complexities of the present.
