Daniel Ariza (Bogotá, 1995) is a multidisciplinary artist who integrates his background in analytical psychology with electronic arts to explore the boundaries of human perception. His research focuses on the phenomenology of light and sound, treating them not merely as physical phenomena, but as tools capable of inducing altered states of consciousness and deep contemplation. 

​

His body of work ranges from intimate light sculptures to large-scale immersive installations. Underlying all of them is a constant inquiry: to make the visible invisible. Ariza is interested in the subtle forces that structure nature—air, water, geometric patterns—translating them into sensory experiences where the viewer can reconnect with the mystery of their own existence.  

​

His work pursues a contemporary revision of the sublime. Ariza uses technology to provoke that specific experience of awe and time suspension felt in the face of immensity. In a world saturated with digital stimuli, his installations configure spaces of stillness. Paradoxically, he employs electronic media to return us to a human and geological temporality.

​

Ariza holds an MFA in Plastic, Electronic, and Time-Based Arts from Universidad de los Andes (2023) and a degree in Psychology from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (2018). This academic duality allows him to approach artistic creation with a profound understanding of the viewer's cognitive and emotional processes.
