Gabriela Ayza Aschmann (b. 1991, Cologne, Germany) is a multidisciplinary artist of Spanish and German descent, currently based in Miami, Florida. She studied Fine Arts in Andalusia and graduated from the University of Fine Arts in Seville, Spain. Gabriela’s work reflects her cultural heritage, merging traditional influences with contemporary themes.
Since 2019, she has participated in artist residencies in Italy, Denmark, Spain, and the United States. Her work is often provocative and introspective, with solo exhibitions in Miami, including “I Have an Idiot Inside Me” and “Mom, Let Me Be an Animal for One Day."In 2023, she showcased her work at the prestigious ArteBA Art Fair in Buenos Aires, further establishing her presence on the international art scene. Her latest ceramic series, Selling Panties Edition, is currently on view at two prominent Miami institutions: the Bass Museum of Art and Superblue Museum.
When we read an artist's statement, we seek to understand the intent behind the work, trying to make sense of what we see. But art, at its core, is a form of sense-making. My work explores how to provoke sensations that transport us beyond our everyday world, reflecting the tension between my inner world and the outward appearances of modern society, creating a parallel reality where the tangible becomes visible. Raw and unfiltered, my goal is to merge brutality with sweetness. Straddling the line between abstraction and figuration, I use oil painting and analog photography to carve out a space where I can embrace my own discomfort—a space where humor, harshness, and tenderness coexist.
