About the Artist

Born in Barcelona. Self-taught, Carlota first started taking photographs as a young teenager. She is known for work that often combines photography or filmmaking with her own art direction and choreography. Her first major commission was collaborating with the singer-songwriter Solange on the artwork and art direction of the videos for the singer’s acclaimed “A Seat at the Table” album. This collaborative work continued when she teamed up with the poet Rupi Kaur to art direct a live performance of Kaur’s poems in New York. Carlota’s unique blend of feminism, nature and performance creates work that is both subversive and ethereal. She has collaborated with global brands such as Nike, Givenchy, Dior and regularly contributes to titles such as Vogue Spain, Numéro, Porter, and Fader. She lives in Paris.
