ZINE: Holiday, now
FEAST: Holiday, Now celebrates the Royal College of Art’s 1st year Painting students’ personal narratives, practices and visions in response to this year’s holiday season. Providing a peek behind the scenes at our community as it continues to develop through lockdowns and webcams, these pages aim to offer a broader acknowledgement of the festive season through the lens of our practices. Aside from cheer and merriment - or indeed instead of them - “holiday” feelings may well include loneliness, reunion, darkness, warmth, mourning, love, introspection or reflections on the year that passed. Sending love, from all of us to you.

Pia Ortuño is a Costa Rican artist currently based in London. In
2019 she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts of the University
of Costa Rica and traveled to Pietrasanta, Italy to work with marble
and bronze in the workshops of Jimenez Deredia.
Pia Ortuño
Ortuño’s view of the world through the mediation of opposites
merges with her current study of the development of time through
the materiality of surfaces. The circle, in the form of a vacuum,
is present in her work as a symbolic representation of the spherical
memory of the universe. Her practice develops across different
mediums and techniques in painting and sculpture.
