Sabrina Merayo Nuñez is an Argentine multidisciplinary artist and material researcher based in New York. Her practice operates at the intersection of bio-art, design, and sculpture, focusing on the development of biodegradable materials and interactive systems that challenge conventional notions of permanence, authorship, and material agency.

Since 2020, she has been developing a proprietary, fully organic bioplastic composed of algae, collagen, natural oils, and plants. Emerging from a dialogue between contemporary biomaterials research and historical artisan practices, Orifex is conceived not only as an ecological alternative to petrochemical plastics, but as both a poetic statement and a structural material.

Her work integrates living systems—such as microorganisms and mushroom— with sensor-based technologies, creating responsive environments in which light, heat, and human presence actively influence biological processes. Through these interactions, her installations position the viewer as a participant within evolving material ecosystems, foregrounding co-creation with non-human forces.

Merayo Nuñez has presented her work internationally, including at Collectible Brussels, Milan Design Week, 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen, and the Diriyah Biennale. She has been awarded a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and has participated in residencies such as the Bio Art Residency at the School of Visual Arts and the Coalesce Center for Biological Art in New York. She is currently involved in exhibitions and curatorial projects that explore new materialities and sustainable production models within contemporary art and design.
