Rosemarie Gleiser Blufstein (b. Lima, Peru, 1969) is a Latin American interdisciplinary artist and writer based in New York.
Her work explores themes of diaspora, memory, identity, food culture, feminism, and migration, weaving personal narratives into broader cultural and historical frameworks. Rooted in her Romanian and Peruvian heritage, Gleiser’s practice uses drawing, printmaking, painting, photography, and storytelling to reflect on belonging, tradition, and transformation—often through the body, domestic rituals, and diasporic language.
Her current project, “Let me tell you something”, is a bilingual illustrated memoir that follows her family's journey from pre-WWII Romania to Peru. Intertwining recipes, Yiddish phrases, WhatsApp messages, and intimate stories, the work is both an act of preservation and a celebration of diasporic resilience through food, humor, and art.
Gleiser holds a Ph.D. in Art & Research from the University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), an MFA from NYU (USA), and a BFA from Los Andes University (Colombia). Her work has been exhibited at institutions including Fundación Antonio Pérez, IBERCAJA, MIDE, FUGA, MAMU, and MAMBO, and featured in international art fairs such as CIGE (China), ARTBO (Colombia), and Arte Americas (USA). Her pieces are held in public collections such as Fundación Antonio Pérez, Fundación Santillana, and Denison University. She is a Fulbright recipient and earned summa cum laude honors for her doctoral research on the symbolic and material role of skin in contemporary art.
