Biography
María Korol's artistic practice is rooted in drawing and painting. She is interested in storytelling, literature in conversation with history, memory, and transformation. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1980, in the middle of a military dictatorship, she was exiled to Brazil for four years and later returned to grow up in her home country. She moved to the United States in 2004.
Korol has shown her artwork nationally and internationally at MOCA GA and Swan Coach House Gallery in Atlanta, The Painting Center and Prince Street Gallery in New York, and the Akademie der Künste in Berlin, among other places. Her artwork is in numerous collections. She is a distinguished fellow of the Junge Akademie der Künste, the Hambidge Center, and the Women's Art Institute. She was a finalist for the Artadia Award in 2022, the recipient of the 2020 Edge Award with the Forward Arts Foundation, and was selected for The Creatives Project and the Hughley Fellowship. Her work has been published in ART PAPERS, Burnaway, and ArtsATL. Her studio is based in Atlanta, where she is an assistant professor of art at Morehouse College.
