Antes is a series of five (5) small oil paintings of a living room in different time lapses. Antes is the Spanish word for before. This series was started in 2005 and finished in 2019.
This is a series of drawings with graphite, Chinese ink, pen, watercolor and colored pencils of Colombian athletes who through their Concentration and Persistence achieved their goals.
The technique of the pieces makes reference to this qualities needed also in the discipline of drawing.
Zauberberg are big acrylic paintings that started as a colour experiment with contrast based on Johannes Itten’s Colour Theory and the traditional themes of art (still life, landscape, and human figure).
Expanding on the human figure I continued with the moments of concentration observed in children. This are small drawings on paper.
Reflexions on the Mind and Democracy
Commissioned Work
Past Works 2003-2012
The experimentation of different techniques, in drawing and painting, and colour were the main focus of my work from 2003 to 2012. Even though the theme always varied, the human figure remained and that lead me to my recent work.
