Artist's Statement
Born in Manizales, Colombia in 1967, the son of European immigrants, from an early age I was brought up surrounded by nature, I am passionate about the landscape in all its expressions and forms, what's new day, and how different the next.I consider myself a native without original packaging, which is about creating things in his work up close, without forgetting those that exist in the distance, and feeling very close to where I am.
