Colombian artist. I take humor as a fundamental basis in my actions. I am convinced that art is more art when less art appears. I take failure and error as the only authentic acts in the human being. I also consider disappointment as an effective way of amazement and learning. I work mainly with video and also with hyperrealist painting with the technique of pointillism in clay.

We carried out audiovisual projects reflecting the relationship between man and technology, the mistaken idea of progress and the construction of nation concepts, based on the development of their technologies. The project questioned institutional history from a poetic vision. We were greatly inspired by science fiction. My work has been shown in various exhibitions, galleries, festivals and artistic events in America, Asia and Africa. LA DECANATURA was shown in several important exhibitions.
