My latest work!
The imagery present in my work is predominately inspired by an eroticism that I perceive as inherent to Colombian culture. Through materiality, color choices and artistic language I call attention to social, political, and environmental issues. My intention is to create visually seductive work to evoke memories, associations, and emotions such as anger in the viewer, thus creating a space for conversation, thought, engagement, and action.
The main focus of my photo work is the study of the male anatomy. I also have a fascination for documenting architectural structures during my travels.
Through the use of Collage mix-media: drawing, painting, silkscreen... I map in dream-like layers of images as those in the works of Mark Shagal. The imagery in my work are full of social, political, and cultural narrative.
My Master's degree concentration was in study materials, I recycle materials that eventually become Installation/Sculptures to which I incorporate videos and performative elements.
