“August 9, 2015 the emperor's costume”

The Peruvian conceptual artist works with painting, collage, sculpture and video to question the value of replicas and the glorification of the authentic. She works by appropriating existing objects to create new works.

In 2002, Sandra founded the Museo de Arte Contemporâneo de Lima – LiMAC, which encourages artists, curators and critics to transform the museum into a center of artistic production. The artist began the museum’s collection with her paintings made from existing contemporary works and with the architectural design of an invisible building built in the desert.

His most recent solo exhibitions include: "Paisaje entre comillas", Galería Lucía de la Puente, Lima, Peru, in 2015; "La Quadrature du Cercle", Studio Sandra Recio, Geneva, Switzerland, in 2014; "What Made us Modern", Galeria Leme, Sao Paulo, in 2014; "You are Here", European Capital of Culture, Guimarães, Portugal, in 2012; among others. His works are part of important institutions, such as Caja Madrid, MoMA, and Tate Modern.
