Yaritza Pineiro is a New York City-based multidisciplinary artist whose work reflects the subtleties and complexities of everyday life. Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York, her practice is shaped by personal experience, cultural heritage, and the ongoing negotiation of identity.
While her earlier work addressed Afro-Diasporic identity, colonialism, and social issues such as gender and colorism, Pineiro’s current practice is more introspective, exploring the small, often overlooked moments that reveal how culture, race, and identity intersect in daily life. Her art reflects interactions, environments, and personal reflections, capturing the fluid, ever-changing dynamics of modern life.
A 2021 graduate of Purchase College, SUNY, with a BSVA in Painting & Drawing, Pineiro continues to explore how experiences and relationships shape self-identity, using her work to examine how the world shapes us—and how we shape the world in return.
