ATELIER CARACAS IS A
DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE, LOOKING WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF ITS HOME,
VENEZUELA. IT IS BASED IN CARACAS AND WAS FOUNDED IN 2015 BY ARCHITECTS JULIO
KOWALENKO AND RODRIGO ARMAS, WHO BECAME FRIENDS WHILE STUDYING AT THE
PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSIDAD CENTRAL DE VENEZUELA. THEIR STUDIO INVOLVES A TEAM OF CREATIVES AND NON COMFORMISTS THAT GIVE LIFE TO
PROJECTS THAT ARE AS DISPARATE AS THEIR INTERESTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, PUBLIC AREAS, PRIVATE RESIDENCIES, RETAIL SPACES, POP-UPS,
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
OPERATING AS A THINK TANK FOR FORMAL, AESTHETIC AND
CULTURAL INVESTIGATION, ATELIER CARACAS DRAWS STRONG INFLUENCES FROM ITS LOCAL CONTEXT, POP
CULTURE AND THE EVERYDAY, FINDING IN ALL THAT SURROUNDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
EXTRACT THEIR ARCHITECTURAL BEING, RECOGNIZING THE SAME PATTERNS IN SMALL AND
LARGE SCALES TO CREATE ALLURING SPACES AND OBJECTS AT ONCE HUMOROUS,
THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND SYMBOLICALLY CHARGED.
OVER THE YEARS, ATELIER
CARACAS HAS DEVELOPED A BOLD PORTFOLIO OF CREATIVE PROJECTS THAT WANDER THROUGH
THE REALMS OF FINE ARTS, ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN. THEIR WORK HAS DRAWN INTEREST
FROM DISTINCTIVE COLLECTORS, BRANDS AND INTERNATIONAL ART GALLERIES IN NORTH
& LATIN AMERICA, EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST. THEIR DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
INCLUDE EXCEPTIONAL REPRESENTATION BY THE LIKES OF GALERIE PHILIA (NEW YORK,
GENEVE, SINGAPORE), COLLECTIONAL GALLERY (DUBAI) AND LIMA MODERN GALLERY
(PERU); THEY HAVE COLLABORATED WITH INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS SUCH AS FERRARI, SONY
MUSIC LATIN / 5020 STUDIOS, BARTLETT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND ASOCIACIÓN
VENEZOLANA DE CONCIERTOS AND HAVE EXHIBITED AT RENOWNED EVENTS SUCH AS
“UNTITLED ART” AT ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH 2021 AND PINTA MIAMI 2022.
