Founding Member, IT and Operations

Multidisciplinary Artist · New York

Helwing Villamizar is a Venezuelan multidisciplinary artist based in New York whose work recreates state infrastructure undergoing geopolitical disruption via processes of fragmentation and material entropy. His practice considers how national identity is constructed, circulated, and ultimately abandoned through infrastructure, tracing the afterlives of institutions, technologies, and symbols that once promised progress, sovereignty, and belonging but now persist as ruins. Villamizar’s work has been presented at MACCSI, MAO, the Sala Mendoza, and the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and is held in private collections across the Americas and Europe. He has participated in international biennials and cultural platforms, including ULA 2022, the I Biennial of Fire at the Museo de Bellas Artes (MBA), FIA–Caracas Pública, the Sziget Festival in Budapest, and NADA Miami 2025 Art Fair. He is a founding member of El CONSULADO, an artist collective dedicated to amplifying diasporic contemporary artistic expression.
