Ever since my childhood, I wanted to paint, but studied Philosophy and Literature instead and devoted myself to teaching and to arts administration for quite some time.
My admiration for classical and modern paintings in European and American museums and galleries then led me to take up lessons with master painting artists Jorge Cárdenas, Jaime Gómez, Lorna Ritz, Libe de Zulategi and others in my native Colombia, where I participated in auctions and exhibitions and held solo shows at different venues since 1986. In Miami, I have shown my florals and still-lives at Fire Haus Projects (2008 and 2009) and Zahara Gallery (2007). |
