For the 2025 edition of NADA Miami, Primary presents a focused exhibition of new paintings by Jimena Losada Lacerna, an Argentine artist whose work reframes landscape as a site of perception and presence. Born in Mendoza and working in Buenos Aires, Losada approaches the pictorial field as a convergence of memory, materiality, and emotional register—an ongoing inquiry into how place is sensed, held, and transformed.
In her muted palettes and quietly suspended figures, the city emerges as both body and mirage, a Buenos Aires shaped by light, drift, and the subtle architectures of the everyday. These works construct atmospheres that feel simultaneously intimate and expansive, proposing spaces where time loosens and the boundaries of the visible become permeable.
Losada’s paintings ask for a slower, more attentive mode of looking. They invite viewers to inhabit ambiguity, to dwell in persistence and quiet revelation, and to consider how the act of seeing might become a form of attunement within the shifting terrain of contemporary life.

Jimena Losada Lacerna (b. 1990, Mendoza, Argentina) is an Argentine visual artist living and working in Buenos Aires. Her pictorial practice is deeply rooted in her experience of landscape. Through dreamlike scenes, suspended architectures, and symbolic objects, her work explores everyday life as a poetic and affective terrain.
She holds a BFA in Visual Arts from the National University of Cuyo (2015) and participated in the Artistas x Artistas training program at Fundación El Mirador (2022), supported by a scholarship from Fundación Itaú.
She has presented solo exhibitions at Primary (Miami, 2025), Pasto Galería (Buenos Aires, 2023), Galería Jamaica (Rosario, 2021), and the Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno de Mendoza (2019). She has participated in group exhibitions in Mendoza, Rosario, and Buenos Aires.
Her work is part of public and private collections, including the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires.
Her practice has been featured in Página/12, Infobae, La Agenda BA, and El Flasherito.
Primary (Est. 2007) is a context and research-driven curatorial collective with an emphasis on public art. We thrive amongst the self-taught, working-class misfits, who explore the margins of a new Americana through pungent, human-focused narratives. Our program engages with the raw and uncanny, celebrating border voices, bootleg culture, and intergenerational commentary, connecting the new and unseen with broader audiences and evolving collections.
