BIO:

Federico Gauna (b. 2001, Buenos Aires) is a sculptor whose practice explores the intersections of identity, migration, and cultural memory through the recurring figure of the Trådman. Working primarily with wire and textile-inspired techniques, Gauna creates dynamic forms that balance structure and fluidity. A graduate of the Rinehart School of Sculpture at MICA (MFA, 2025), his work spans large-scale suspended installations, wall and pedestal sculptures, and intimate miniature figures. Characterized by vibrant color, intricate repetition, and tactile texture, Gauna’s sculptures embody a distinct sense of playfulness and rhythm. He currently lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland.
