Gisela Colón (b. 1966) ​is a Puerto Rican-American contemporary artist whose ecofeminist work addresses ecological and universal concerns. Drawing from her formative years in Puerto Rico, Colón pioneered a language of “organic minimalism” creating abstract, luminescent sculptures that employ as source material the energy of the earth, ancestral biological memories, and concepts of time, gravity, and universal forces of nature.

Colón’s process of layering 21st-century materials and matter harvested from the geographical and liminal sites of her life embodies her nuanced exploration of the intersections between landscape, materiality, and identity. By blending aspects of the luminous expanses of the Western United States with the geological richness of Puerto Rico, Colón’s work creates a symbiotic relationship between light, mineral, and body, subverting traditional notions of place and belonging.
