Maria-Gracia Donoso, Suspension Ontologies

Ink + watercolor

Artist Statement

My practice investigates perception as a mutable field, where the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, the known and the unknown, remain in constant transformation. Working across drawing, sculpture, video, and installation, I develop intuitive processes in which materiality, chance, and technology interact to generate speculative territories and multidimensional environments.

My work often begins with fluid, organic drawings created through gestures that unfold beyond conscious control. These forms are later transformed through digital and spatial processes into imagined landscapes, architectures, and immersive spaces that challenge conventional notions of reality and invite alternative modes of perception.

Under the title Suspension Ontologies, my current body of work explores states of existence that remain suspended between multiple possibilities. I am interested in liminal spaces where matter, consciousness, and identity resist fixed definition, suggesting forms of intelligence, presence, and sensitivity that extend beyond exclusively human perspectives.

In recent years, my practice has increasingly evolved toward questions of transformation and healing. Rather than representing alternative worlds, I seek to create experiences that foster a deeper connection with our inner landscapes and with dimensions of existence that may feel transcendent or sacred. I understand artistic practice as a process of exploration, but also as a space for restoration, wonder, and the expansion of consciousness.
