Irene Calderón (b. 1990, San José, Costa Rica | Based in Paris, France)
Irene Calderón expresses her artistic vision through oil painting, exploring the human figure—especially the female body—with sensitivity and depth.
Beyond physical likeness, her work seeks to reveal the inner life of her subjects through light and atmosphere, capturing fragments of emotion and psychological presence. Her paintings evoke both the tangible and the invisible, reflecting the essence of each individual and the atmospheres they inhabit.
Rooted in her Costa Rican background, Calderón’s work weaves in elements of culture, landscape, and the quiet ambiguity of painting from a place seldom linked to oil traditions —turning questions of identity, belonging, and context into an integral part of her art.
Her work has been exhibited in Costa Rica, Argentina, Mexico, Spain, England, and Italy, and she has been represented by Reiners Contemporary Art in Marbella, Spain, and Cassina Projects in Milan, Italy.
