Micaela Aljovín (Lima, 1969) studied at the Corriente Alterna School of Contemporary Visual Arts. She graduated in 2018 with a silver medal. She has participated in solo exhibitions, dozens of group and two-person exhibitions, both in Peru (Lima, Arequipa, Cusco) and abroad (Spain, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom). In 2019, she co-founded the Andamio collective, a cultural platform focused on generating collaborative projects and artist residencies. She is a member of MAV – Women in the Visual Arts of Peru.

Her creative work draws on her previous experience in the legal and institutional fields, allowing her to offer unique critical perspectives on the relationships between image, power, and symbolic construction. From an interdisciplinary approach, but above all through abstraction and experimentation with local materials and techniques, her work deactivates fixed meanings and proposes an open reading, where the symbolic is reconfigured from the fragmentary, the material, and the sensory. His works on Peruvian education and its artistic deconstruction are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Memory in Lima.
