Carla Ciuffo’s work lies somewhere between photography, collage, and video art. Narrative, abstract, and lyrical imagery blend in elements of texture and light as Ciuffo plays with the dynamics of constructing and deconstructing the boundaries of her photographic world. “It speaks to the enigma of being human” says Carla.
Originally a New Yorker, Carla Ciuffo currently lives and works in Nashville, Tennessee, and has lived in the south for the past decade. She is a recipient of the Woman Art Award 2017 for the Women’s Essence Show, Espace Cominnes, Paris, France, and her work can be found in collections and corporate installations throughout the United States and Europe. Her corporate commissions have included Pinnacle Bank, Chartwell Hospitality (Conrad Hilton), The Palmer Group, INSBANK, Spectrum | Emery, Crescent Communities, Fulcher Investment Properties, Jackson Thornton, Kalisher Design Group, and more. She was a visiting artist at Harvard University collaborating with the Disease and Biophysics Group, creating abstract artwork using a ground breaking nanofiber technology. Her nanofiber inspired series Nano.Stasis Cosmic Garden debuted at Tinney Contemporary. Notably, her work of iconic contemporary artists is in the collection of the Country Music Hall of Fame, in Nashville, TN.
