The immigrant photographer deconstructs Florida’s layered realities of climate and culture

By Art Basel

Oct 30, 2024

rt Basel’s ‘Meet the artists’ series presents contemporary creatives shaping today’s cultural landscape

Miami-based photographer Anastasia Samoylova has a sharp eye for contrasts. Born in Southern Russia, she looks at favorite subject – the state of Florida – with the eyes of a foreigner, portraying it as both paradise and paradox.

In the latest episode of ‘Meet the artists,’ Samoylova delves into her approach to photography, describing her images as ‘meant for slower visual consumption.’ As she walks through the streets of Miami Beach, she explains how her work offers a visual narrative of Florida and Miami, capturing both their beauty and their fragility in the face of climate change and complex politics.

Samoylova’s journey led her from constructing physical models in environmental design during her school years to exploring the constructs of place through her lens. ‘Any image you see of mine is a bit meta; you can’t take it at face value,’ she says.

Anastasia Samoylova’s exhibition, ‘Floridas: Anastasia Samoylova and Walker Evans’, is currently on view at The Met in New York City through May 11, 2025. Her solo show, ‘ADAPTATION’ is on view at Saatchi Gallery in London through January 20, 2025.

Anastasia Samoylova is represented by Wentrup (Berlin).

Verónica Riedel presenta la exposición “Mycelium Garden” en IDArtLab,  Miami


El sábado 2 de noviembre de 2024 inaugura la exposición “Mycelium Garden” de la artista Verónica Riedel, quien presentará una selección de su trabajo reciente en IDArtLab, Miami.  


Bajo la curaduría de Félix Suazo, la exposición aborda la relación entre el hombre y la naturaleza, utilizando el micelio como metáfora de conexión y regeneración. Según explica la artista: “Al explorar estos temas, busco subrayar la interconexión de nuestras acciones y el medio ambiente, fomentando una comprensión más profunda de nuestra responsabilidad colectiva hacia la tierra y entre nosotros”. 

El proyecto incluye instalaciones de gran formato y ensamblajes, realizados con biocueros a partir de residuos orgánicos locales como cacao, café, banano, magüey, algodón, hierbas medicinales, entre otros materiales. Algunas de las piezas combinan los biomateriales con imágenes fotográficas o generadas por inteligencia artificial para  recrear un nuevo paisaje en el cual conviven la destrucción y la creación, lo orgánico y lo no orgánico, el presente y el futuro. 

Para el curador Félix Suazo “la propuesta de Verónica Riedel rememora el tejido subterráneo que protege el lecho terrestre y sostiene la vida natural. Allí, entre retazos amorfos, retoñan especímenes de taxonomía desconocida que vienen a reemplazar el horizonte devastado. Su apariencia, color y consistencia configura un paisaje nuevo, compuesto por burbujas, partículas, filamentos y ramificaciones inesperadas”.

En paralelo con la exposición “Mycelium Garden”, la artista tiene prevista la presentación de su libro antológico “Verónica Riedel. All The Worlds That Are In This One” / “Verónica Riedel. Todos los mundos que están en este”en la librería Books & Books de Coral Gables el 16 de noviembre de 2024 a las 5 pm. 

Con la exposición “Mycelium Garden”, Verónica Riedel culminauna intensa agenda expositiva que a lo largo de 2024 le ha permitido mostrar su trabajo en La Mecha Contemporary Gallery de El Paso, Texas, en la subasta de arte latinoamericano JUANNIO y en la Galería y Fundación Rozas-Botrán de Guatemala. Además, ganó la prestigiosa residencia Karstica, en Cañada del Hoyo, España, en septiembre de 2024 y participó en la exposición colectiva“Tejiendo identidades, diálogos, huellas y futuro” en Arte Al Límite Museo, Chile, abierta desde septiembre de 2024 hasta marzo 2025. 

Veronica Riedel es una artista multimedia que trabaja con temas de contenido social, ecología y cuestiones relacionadas con las mujeres. Muchas de sus obras se realizan en colaboración con comunidades indígenas de Guatemala. Sus trabajos han sido premiados y expuestos en museos y ferias de arte internacionales, y forman parte de importantes colecciones privadas y públicas en Guatemala, América Latina, Europa y Estados Unidos. 

La exposición “Mycelium Garden” de Verónica Riedelpodrá ser visitada hasta el 23 de noviembre de 2024, de martes a sábado, de 3 a 7 pm en IDArtlab, ubicado en 676 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127.

Veronica Riedel presents “Mycelium Garden” exhibition at IDArtLab, Miami

Solo Exhibition
IDArtLab 
676 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127
Opening: November 2, 2024
Closing: November 23, 2024

Saturday, November 2, 2024, opens the exhibition “Mycelium Garden” by artist Veronica Riedel, who will present a selection of her recent work at IDArtLab, Miami. 


Curated by Felix Suazo, the exhibition addresses the relationship between man and nature, using mycelium as a metaphor for connection and regeneration. As the artist explains, “By exploring these themes, I seek to underscore the interconnectedness of our actions and the environment, fostering a deeper understanding of our collective responsibility to the earth and each other.”

The project includes large-format installations and assemblages, made with bio-leathers from local organic waste such as cocoa, coffee, bananas, magüey, cotton, and medicinal herbs, among other materials. Some of the pieces combine biomaterials with photographic images or images generated by artificial intelligence to recreate a new landscape in which destruction and creation, organic and non-organic, present and future coexist.

According to curator Felix Suazo, “Veronica Riedel’s proposal recalls the subway fabric that protects the earth’s bed and sustains natural life. There, among amorphous scraps, sprout specimens of unknown taxonomy that come to replace the devastated horizon. Their appearance, color, and consistency configure a new landscape, composed of bubbles, particles, filaments, and unexpected ramifications.”

In parallel with the exhibition “Mycelium Garden”, the artist is planning the presentation of her anthological book “Veronica Riedel. All The Worlds That Are In This One” / “Verónica Riedel. Todos los mundos que están en este” at Books & Books bookstore in Coral Gables on November 16, 2024 at 5 pm.

With the exhibition “Mycelium Garden”, Verónica Riedel culminates an intense exhibition schedule that throughout 2024 has allowed her to show her work at La Mecha Contemporary Gallery in El Paso, Texas, at the JUANNIO Latin American Art Auction and the Rozas-Botrán Gallery and Foundation in Guatemala. In addition, she won the prestigious Karstica residency in Cañada del Hoyo, Spain, in September 2024 and participated in the group exhibition “Tejiendo identidades, diálogos, huellas y futuro” at Arte Al Límite Museo, Chile, open from September 2024 to March 2025.

Veronica Riedel is a multimedia artist who works with themes of social content, ecology, and women’s issues. Many of her works are made in collaboration with indigenous communities in Guatemala. Her works have been awarded and exhibited in museums and international art fairs, and are part of important private and public collections in Guatemala, Latin America, Europe, and the United States.

The exhibition “Mycelium Garden” by Verónica Riedel can be visited until November 23, 2024, Tuesday through Saturday, from 3 to 7 pm at IDArtlab, located at 676 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127.

CHROMA 2024: Transformative Power of Art During Miami Art Week

CHROMA 2024: Transformative Power of Art During Miami Art Week

Lucid Design District’s 3rd Annual Multi-disciplinary Art Exhibition Opens on December 3rd. FREE with RSVP

As the countdown to Miami Art Week and Art Basel Miami Beach begins, Lucid Design District is set to present the third edition of its celebrated  annual exhibition, CHROMA. Opening on December 3, 2024, CHROMA 2024 unites 20 artists from diverse backgrounds, whose multidisciplinary works explore the theme of transformation—both personal and societal—through creativity. Curated by Graciela Montich, this year’s exhibition delves into art’s power to shape the future by promoting peace, sustainability, and inclusivity.

In her curatorial statement, Montich emphasizes the exhibition’s focus on art as a tool for change: “In CHROMA 2024, artists come together to visualize an optimistic future, harnessing creativity to impact individuals, societies, and cultures. Art has the potential to inspire deep understanding of the world around us, and, as we face the complexities of today’s world, creativity becomes essential in helping us imagine a better future.”

A Platform for Cultural and Artistic Dialogue:

Since its inception, Lucid Design District has embraced Miami’s vibrant artistic landscape. Through CHROMA 2024, the gallery has become a dynamic space where artists from around the world use their work to convey messages of compassion, love, and inclusivity. Curator Graciela Montich, born in Cordoba, Argentina, and trained in Europe, draws on her experience to shape an exhibition that speaks to contemporary challenges. Montich’s artistic vision, rooted in a subject-to-subject relationship between humans and nature, permeates the exhibition, fostering a conversation between art and the viewer.

Montich explains, “I am deeply committed to curating exhibitions that do more than entertain—they should provoke thought and dialogue. CHROMA 2024 is an invitation to reflect on our shared humanity and the way art can bridge divides, creating pathways to empathy and understanding.”

New Artist Highlights:

This year’s CHROMA introduces several new artists, each bringing fresh perspectives to the themes of identity and human connection:

  • Graciela Durand Pauli’s  Before I Leave (2024), a mixed-media piece,  blends fantasy and reality in a surrealist exploration of the human condition. “In my work, I embrace absurdity, using characters and surreal environments to express universal emotions,” says Durand Pauli.
  • Nelson Delgado Jr. explores resilience and human experience in his emotionally charged works. “I create art that speaks to the soul, compelling the viewer to pause, reflect, and connect with the stories I tell,” Delgado explains.
  • Raquel Chomer, a celebrated sculptor, brings her decades of experience in working with metals and ceramics to the exhibition. Her piece, Destroyed, is a powerful meditation on the impermanence of life and the enduring strength found in nature and human creativity.
  • Nimi Trehan, presenting her diptych Sunkissed (2024), part of the Environmentally Yours series, explores the deep connection between nature and personal reflection. Through vibrant colors and layered textures, her work evokes the symbiotic relationship between life’s rhythms and the natural world, inviting viewers to connect with its meditative energy.

Returning Artists:

The exhibition also welcomes back several returning artists whose work has garnered  attention in previous editions:

  • Robert Frankel, whose kinetic, color-driven abstract paintings, such as Birdland (2024), continue to explore the themes of energy, motion, and the interconnection of all realms of existence. “I see my art as an intuitive, non-conceptual storytelling, where viewers are invited to create their own emotional narrative,” says Frankel.
  • Sandra De Souza-Peixoto, known for her emotionally charged paintings, returns with a new series that delves deeper into self-exploration. “Each piece is an expression of my inner world,” De Souza-Peixoto reflects. “In CHROMA 2024, I reveal more of my personal journey of discovery.”
  • Simi Bhandari creates works that reflect the balance and harmony between her internal and external worlds. “My process is a constant evolution where thoughts and materials work in tandem to express deeply personal and emotional narratives,” Bhandari explains. Her intuitive approach allows her art to unfold organically, with form, color, and texture playing key roles in shaping the final composition.

Artist Activations at CHROMA 2024:

CHROMA 2024 expands beyond traditional art forms with live activations that explore identity, connection, and humanity:

  • Kevin M. Fletcher will present Echoes of Unity, an outdoor mural that evolves in real-time, capturing the multicultural essence of Miami’s iconic architecture and diverse communities.
  • Rafael Montilla (KUBE Man) brings his renowned KUBE Man Performance Series, a performance art piece that embodies the idea of equality and interconnectedness, challenging the viewer to consider human equality through the cube’s geometric symbolism.
  • Navya Nataraj (TheTablaQueen) will showcase her live tabla fusion performances, blending traditional Indian rhythms with contemporary music to underscore music’s universal power to unite cultures.

Featured Artists for CHROMA 2024:

Alejandra Stier (Argentina), Andres Lopez Del Castillo (Colombia), Carina Adur (Argentina), Dariana Arias (Washington D.C.), Emilie Gosselin (Canada), Graciela Durand Pauli (Argentina), Graciela Montich, Curator (Argentina), Heather Lynn (Washington D.C.), Jeannie B.
