Artist Statement, Bio & CV Generator


Three documents every artist and gallery needs, from a few plain-English answers. Describe your medium, themes and process to draft an artist statement; give the facts of your career for a third-person artist bio in short, medium and long lengths; and list your exhibitions and awards to format a clean artist CV. Everything is editable: copy, print or download it. Built for artists by Nakada Design.
‍
Qué hacemos your work is about: a few nouns or a short phrase.
The concrete stuff: what you use and how you make the work.
The idea underneath the surface: say it plainly, in a sentence or two.
Your artist statement
This is a first draft to react to, not a finished statement. The best version is the one you rewrite in your own voice. Blanks appear in [brackets] until you fill them.
Write it as it should read: “an MFA from…” or “a BFA in painting from…”
Your artist bio: three lengths
Third-person bios for your website, a gallery page, a grant application or a press release. Use the short version for captions and social, the long one for catalogues.
Sections: one entry per line, most recent first
Your artist CV
Reverse-chronological, facts only. An artist CV leaves off unrelated jobs. Lead each line with the year so it aligns; leave a section blank to hide it.

Cómo to Write an Artist Statement


The best artist statements answer three questions and stop: what you make, how you make it, and why it matters to you. Everything else is decoration. Nombre your medium and your subject in the first sentence. A curator scanning fifty submissions decides in that line whether to keep reading.

Be concrete before you are abstract. “I build reliquaries from salvaged copper and my grandmother's letters” earns the right to a sentence about memory and loss; the sentence about memory and loss on its own does not. Ground the ideas in the actual materials on your studio table.

Write it in your own voice. Read it aloud. If a phrase would embarrass you to say to a collector standing in front of the work, cut it. The generator above gives you a clean, correct draft to argue with. The finished statement is the one you rewrite until it sounds like you.

Statement, Bio and CV: Qué hacemos Each One Is For


The artist statement is first person and about ideas. It travels with the work: on the wall, in the catalogue, on your About page. The artist bio is third person and about facts: where you are based, your training, your best exhibitions. Galleries, juries and journalists want it because it is quotable. The CV is the evidence: the full reverse-chronological record of shows, awards and collections that lets a curator gauge your trajectory at a glance.

Most opportunities ask for all three at once. Keeping them consistent (same spelling of venue names, same career facts) is quietly one of the most professional things an artist can do. Build them together here so they match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cómo do you write an artist statement?

A strong artist statement answers three questions in the first person: what you make, how you make it, and why it matters. Open by naming your medium and central themes, describe your materials and process concretely, then explain the ideas the work explores. Keep it to 100-250 words, avoid jargon, and write the way you would explain your work to an interested stranger. This generator assembles a clean first draft from your answers that you then edit into your own voice.

Qué hacemos's the difference between a statement and a bio?

An artist statement is written in the first person and explains the ideas, materials and intentions behind your work. An artist bio is written in the third person and states the facts of your career: where you are based, your medium, your training, and notable exhibitions, awards or collections. Galleries, grant applications and press kits usually ask for both, plus a CV. This tool builds all three.

Cómo long should an artist statement be?

For most uses (a gallery submission, a website About page, a grant application) one to three short paragraphs, roughly 100 to 250 words, is ideal. Keep a one-sentence version for captions and social media and a longer version for exhibition catalogues. Say less than you think you need to; a tight statement reads as confidence.

Qué hacemos goes on an artist CV?

An artist CV lists, in reverse-chronological order: your name and contact details, education, solo exhibitions, selected group exhibitions, awards and grants, public and private collections, residencies, and selected press or publications. Unlike a job résumé it omits unrelated employment. This builder formats each section for you from simple line-by-line entries.

Is it free?

Yes. The tool is free to use in your browser with no signup required. Nothing is installed, and you can run as many calculations as you need for planning. Confirm critical figures with product data or a licensed professional before construction.
