Carla van den Berg

Carla Fiona van den Berg (London; 1998) is an Italian visual artist, based between Trieste and Lima. Graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (2023), with one out of the 10 selected most relevant artworks of the graduating year, she has exhibited work in The Netherlands and Italy. Van den Berg’s practice reveals two main strands: on the one hand a purely material approach, where the manipulation of materials derived from the world of construction — chosen for their connotations of permanence and structuralism — explore the boundary between fragility and ephemerality. The other strand reflects a deep fascination with the relationships between space, memory, and the body. Her works can take shape either as large scale installations, mostly site specific, or as individual sculptures often part of an extensive material research.
