Carolina Fontoura Alzaga is an artist working across sculpture, light, and material practice. She is the founder of Facaro, a multidisciplinary art studio that holds her long-form sculptural series, artworks, and the Devenir ecosystem.

Her work explores transformation, agency, and connection through objects and practices that invite reflection, intention, and active participation. Over the past two decades, she has developed distinct bodies of work ranging from large-scale sculptural lighting to intimate, process-driven practices.

Alzaga is the creator of Connect, a sculptural lighting series spanning twenty years and commissioned internationally, and Lucienne, an ongoing series of suspended glass works exploring illumination, form, and intention through multiple editions.

Alongside her studio practice, she developed the Devenir ecosystem, which includes the Devenir Method, an intention-driven organizing practice, and participatory workshops for youth exploring storytelling, material transformation, and creative reuse through hands-on making.

She works between Los Angeles, Denver, and Mexico City.
