“Some of my paintings show a festival of trees in which human feelings are reflected through their branches that touch and caress each other. The imagination and the philosophy of love are reflected in the faces and bodies, creating fantasy spaces. Also, I have others paintings that express the presence of Colombia’s culture, represented in masks, flowers, landscapes, and traditional houses. But all of them capture the essence and rhythm of human feelings”. Please visit the exhibition with your family.
