Soledad Otero is an Argentine visual artist born in Buenos Aires. Her practice is centered on
drawing as a discipline, exploring the relationships between time, perception,
and the transformative potential of sustained attention.
She studied in Buenos Aires under the distinguished Argentine painter Guillermo Roux, who
selected her to work exclusively within his foundation during the formative years of her
artistic development. This mentorship established the foundation for a rigorous studio
practice rooted in precision, patience, and the pursuit of an independent artistic language.
Otero has presented her work in the United States, including exhibitions at Site Gallery in
New York, Catherine Clark Gallery in San Francisco, and at the Hawai‘i studio of Japanese American
artist Masami Teraoka, who has supported the development of her work over many years.
Works from her ongoing series Lumen were curated by Laura Greenwald Einstein, curator at
The Metropolitan Museum Mezzanine Gallery, recognizing the conceptual coherence and
material refinement of her investigation into drawing as a contemplative practice.
Through a practice developed over decades, Soledad Otero continues to explore drawing as
a space where perception, silence, and time converge, creating works that invite sustained
attention and quiet reflection.
