About Me

I was born in Medellín, Colombia in 1984. I come from a unique family, like everyone does. At the age of 2, my father was tragically murdered while he was a medical student. My mother, widowed, took on the role of providing the love needed to overcome life's adversities. An immigrant from Cuba arrived playing music, with a trumpet as luggage, and a traditional matriarch from Medellín became the grandparents who acted as father and mother during my childhood.

Before studying Visual Arts, I pursued undergraduate degrees in Physics Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, with master's degrees in Engineering, Management, and Renewable Energies and Energy Markets. For 12 years, I worked as an engineer on infrastructure projects in energy and water. This experience allowed me to delve deeply into ideas such as labor exploitation, environmental devastation, and centralized accumulation. It also led me to reflect on concepts of progress, landscape alteration, and technology and science as instruments of power.

Currently, through interdisciplinary work, methods derived from engineering and art intersect in my research and creative processes.

In 2024, I participated in the collective exhibition Thesis at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bogotá. In 2023, I held solo exhibitions titled What Still Remains at the Art Museum of Jericó, Antioquia, and Panta Rei: Everything Flows, Everything Changes at the Vásquez Center for Cultural Development in Medellín. In 2022, I received a special mention in the XI New Talents in Art Competition of the Medellín Chamber of Commerce, and in 2019, I was a finalist in the 1st National University Art Salon (SNAU).

In 2025, I participated in the Coordenadas Residencies in Buenos Aires, Argentina; in 2024, I took part in the SACO 2024 Residencies in Antofagasta, Chile; and in 2022, I was at the Naviera Artistic Residency (RAN) in Medellín. I have also been involved in various group exhibitions at the University of Antioquia Museum, the Colombo American Center, and the Chamber of Commerce, among others.
