About

Caro Benitez (they/them) is a queer Argentine-Canadian multidisciplinary artist that
works in painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, installation, and textiles. Benitez draws inspiration from
their surroundings, echoing patterns they stumble upon in the natural world. They are
enamoured by the remnants of flora and fauna, and find solace in nature.
