Artist Bio

Gabriela García-Luna is a multimedia artist of Mexican origin based in Saskatchewan, Canada. 

Her practice based on photography merges analogue and digital mediums through drawing, printmaking, video and installation. Her experience-based work explores the interconnectedness of the natural world in relation to human experience and its parallels though ideas of unity, separation, fragility, resilience, presence and absence.

In her research, she has explored the geography of the places she has called home in Mexico, India, and Saskatchewan, relating to the memory imprinted in the human experience and in the land. Some of her research in recent years is related to the Saskatchewan River as the conduit of life throughout space and time and among the many different communities of living species that have inhabited its geography. 

Her work has been exhibited in multiple solo and group exhibitions in Mexico, Canada, UK and India and her practice includes community engagement projects which she has led in Mexico, Canada and India.

She has received grants and awards from FONCA (National Foundation for Culture and Art Fellowship in Mexico, The Saskatchewan Arts Board and Canada Council of the Arts among others. Her work is part of public and private national and international collections Including the Galería Libertad and Colección Omnilife, Mexico, TD Bank, Saskatchewan Arts Board, MacKenzie Art Gallery and Global Affairs Canada.
