Within her work, Catalina Chervin (b. 1953, Argentina) depicts what the human mind intuits rather than what the eyes see—replacing empirical knowledge with subconscious feeling. Chervin studied at the Escuela Nacional Superior Ernesto de la Cárcova in Buenos Aires, and worked with the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop in New York City. She has received numerous fellowships, including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship (2004 and 2015); the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture Fellowship (2010); and the Fondo Nacional de las Artes Fellowship (Argentina, 2001). In 2015 she was a Visiting Scholar at New York University.
