"Man Looking Southeast" is a striking surrealist painting that captures the viewer's imagination with its vivid imagery and bold color contrast. Measuring 36" x 55" inches, this piece features a large, serpentine red form that weaves across the canvas, creating a dynamic sense of movement and transformation. The central focus is a human-like face adorned with multiple fantastical creatures—each uniquely detailed with vibrant colors and expressive features. The background is divided into two distinct sections: a bright, tranquil turquoise on the left and a deep, mysterious black on the right. This stark contrast heightens the surreal atmosphere of the painting, drawing the viewer into a world where reality and fantasy seamlessly blend. Crafted using professional Winsor & Newton colors and protected with a UV-resistant glossy varnish, "Metamorphic Creatures: A Surreal Journey" is a testament to the artist's meticulous technique and creative vision. This painting is shipped rolled and carefully protected in a tube, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. It is an exceptional addition to any collection, perfect for those who appreciate art that challenges the boundaries of the imagination.

Colombia
I was born in Zipaquirá (Colombia), the city where the famous salt cathedral is located, and currently reside and work in Bogotá. I pursued contemporary art studies at Javeriana University and studied painting at the National University of Colombia. I had the privilege of being a student in the studio of the late Peruvian painter Armando Villegas. South America serves as the foundation of my work, with its unpredictable skies, mysterious, indomitable, and magical nature, its animals, and the people who traverse its lands. I draw inspiration from the pre-Hispanic artistic tradition and the principles of Constructive Universalism, aiming to create an art form that is deeply rooted in local essence while encompassing a universal scope. As Joaquín Torres García once said, "Our north is the south." My work seeks totality, where the abstract and the representational coexist in harmonious fusion. In my abstract paintings, I explore the relationships and balance between shapes and color blocks, evoking the orthogonal lines of Inca constructions and the intricate fabric of pre-Hispanic cultures. Through the figurative elements in my paintings, I delve into the vulnerability of contemporary human beings in the face of the digital world and the hyperconnectivity of social networks, which often engenders deep feelings of loneliness and emptiness within us. The presence of animals serves as a soothing balm for our existence, reminding us that we are intrinsically connected to them, and as such, we are obligated to treat them with respect, dignity, and love, acknowledging them as sacred creatures to whom we owe our appreciation. As a form of resistance against the rapid pace of the contemporary world, the processes involved in my paintings are deliberately slow. I meticulously transform the matter, layer by layer, until I give life to worlds where colors, textures, and fantastic beings coexist harmoniously.
