— Meet the artist

Hello, I'm Natalia.

I’m the artist behind @biscottohouse. I was born in Medellín, Colombia, and I am a visual artist and interior designer based in the U.S.
Over the years, I have developed a deep connection with materials, textures, and the way objects inhabit a space. This experience has profoundly influenced the way I create and understand art. After an early period of exhibitions in Colombia and the U.S, I stepped away from my artistic practice to focus on my career in interior design. Later, I returned to art through teaching, where I rediscovered the expressive potential of paper. What began as an exploration of materials gradually evolved into a sculptural practice centered on wall pieces, vessels, and objects designed to integrate naturally into contemporary interiors.
