Bianca Kumpis
(b. 2000, Santos, Brazil) moved to the U.S. in 2013. Kumpis is a Fine Art student at Art Center College of Design, and is expected to graduate Spring of 2025 under the Art Center UG Scholarship and San Marino League Fine Art Scholarship. Her interdisciplinary practice includes drawing, painting, sculpture, print, video, collage, and installation. Influenced by her mental health and cultural emancipation, she is interested in learning and understanding self and bodily awareness. Her work reframes her experiences in a bright and colorful light with hints of surrealism, impressionism, and figurative imagery. This includes allowing works to be unsystematic, spontaneous, and experimental, creating autobiographical pieces.
