Colomba Fontaine (b. 1987) is a visual artist based in Santiago, Chile. Her work engages with themes of identity, memory, and emotional states, often dissolving the figure into fragmented or atmospheric fields. Materiality plays a central role in her process, with surfaces acting as ca- rriers of psychological intensity and narrative sugges- tion. Her practice examines how objects are constructed through layers, transformations, and the interplay between con- trol and chance. Using both classical visual arts tech- niques and industrial and craft-based methods, Fontaine reinterprets these traditions to expand their symbolic and formal possibilities while preserving the integrity of each medium, working primarily with wax, metals, pigments, plaster, salt crystals, and stoneware. Translated into the artist’s research is a close observation of the Chilean landscape, from the desert to Antarctica, and particularly the stratified presence of the Andes mountain range. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from the Pon- tifical Catholic University (2010), Santiago, Chile. She studied printmaking, ceramics and mixed media in New York (2013) at the School of Visual Arts, Lower East Side Printshop Inc and The Art Students League of New York. In 2017, she became one of the artists represented by Galería NAC in Chile.She took part in various group exhibitions, including at Art House Gallery, Valparaíso Cultural Centre, Galería NAC and the Museum of Visual Arts in Chile. She has also held solo exhibitions at Galería NAC, Centro Cultural Es- paña and Centro Cultural Montecarmelo. At the same time, she has been exhibiting his work at art fairs both within and outside Chile, in countries such as Peru, Mexico and Germany.
