Stefany Layton Cuervo is a visual artist trained in painting, drawing, and art history whose practice has progressively expanded into digital and immersive media. Her work investigates the idea of expanded painting, in which the pictorial image moves beyond the physical canvas into computational and virtual environments. After years working with material painting, she began translating her visual language into generative systems using tools such as TouchDesigner, later extending this research into virtual reality, where bodily perception and spatial immersion became integral to her creative process.
Within this trajectory, Stefany explores the dialogue between digital and physical environments as a direct means of representing landscape. Her project Metamorphosis of the Landscape examines the circulation between virtual and material spaces, drawing on the notion of the ideal landscape historically constructed by Renaissance painters within the studio before being translated into painting. Across her practice, digital environments are approached as evolving entities capable of transformation and renewal, fostering an ongoing exchange between physical and virtual spaces. Through continued experimentation with virtual reality and generative processes, she develops landscape as a speculative and continually shifting field shaped by perception, limits, and spatial experience.

Echoes of the Forest is a virtual reality video project that reflects on roots and origin, drawing from the jungles of Colombia as a space of memory and belonging. Through digital immersion, the work proposes a return to an organic identity—a quiet rebirth into the land and a contemplation of the forest as lived experience.
