Untitled Art, Special Projects—Karla Kantorovich
Join Karla at Special Projects at Untitled Art, Miami Beach 2025. Karla’s project titled Transient Nature is a sculptural installation that explores the fluid boundary between permanence and change — a poetic drift that lingers between presence and transformation. Conceived by Karla Kantorovich, the work transforms material presence into quiet reflection, tracing the movement of water through cycles of erosion, renewal, and becoming. Composed of handmade paper, natural fibers, pigments, recycled fishing mesh, and found organic materials, the sculpture evokes geological layers and eroded sediments — surfaces shaped by time and marked by memory. Suspended high above the viewer, it captures a moment of transformation where what was once fluid becomes still. Anchored in a reflection on humanity’s relationship with nature, Transient Nature contemplates the fragility of ecosystems and our disconnection from the very element that sustains life. It invites us to perceive nature not merely as a resource, but as a living presence — a quiet call to return, to listen, and to restore harmony with the living world that sustains us.

Karla Kantorovich
Karla Kantorovich is a mixed media artist from Mexico City-based in Miami, FL. She works with paintings, textiles, hand-made paper, and assemblages, leaning into the importance of texture and dimensionality to explore renewal. Karla’s art is a testament to the transformative power of nature. She brings the outside world into our realms, allowing us to explore the profound togetherness that binds us to the natural environment. By deconstructing and reassembling sustainably sourced materials, Karla creates a visual language that speaks to the ephemeral nature of life, the beauty of decay, and the intricate layers that compose our collective story.
Kantorovich received the Ellies Creator Award 2021 from Oolite Arts, leading to her immersive art installation “AMATE” at Piero Atchugarry Gallery in 2022. She also received an Honorable Mention at the XIX Bienal Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City, exhibiting at the Museo Rufino Tamayo and the MACO Museum of Arte Contemporaneo in Oaxaca, Mexico. She has showcased her work nationally and internationally, including at the XIX International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Florence, the MFA Exhibition at the Frost Art Museum, the Mexican Consulate in Miami, and the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach.
Kantorovich holds a Master of Fine Arts from Florida International University. Actively engaging with the community is of utmost importance to her; she works as a teaching artist aiming to inspire, connect, and provoke meaningful dialogues, embodying the potential for regeneration and growth.
