Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and currently based in New York City, I have been profoundly influenced by pop art, American culture, and the vibrant artistic movements of our time. Since relocating to New York in 2014, I have immersed myself in a diverse range of artistic endeavors, merging street art, technology, and popular culture into my photographic compositions.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated extensively with fashion designers, musicians, and artists across various disciplines, each contributing to the evolution of my artistic vision. As an autodidact with a keen interest in Western literature and philosophy, my work is imbued with narrative depth, drawing inspiration from literary giants such as Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Tirso De Molina and Juana Inés de la Cruz.
My photography explores the transition of past and present, integrating visual elements from art periods such as the Renaissance, Baroque, and Romanticism. I create compositions reminiscent of Dutch still lifes, juxtaposing unusual objects to evoke a sense of timelessness and continuity. Central to my artistic philosophy is the exploration of repetitive human behavior through symbolic materials that bridge historical epochs.
The Numen project aims to challenge perceptions of artifacts by presenting them in contemporary contexts, fostering a dialogue that transcends temporal boundaries.
