They are interested in exploring the dimensions of Latinx identity, primarily working with themes of ritual, belonging, and animism.

✨Remembering Fernando Botero, the celebrated Colombian sculptor and painter🎨

Botero's art was known for its vibrant colors and larger-than-life subjects, which earned him international acclaim. However, Botero's legacy extends far beyond his artistic achievements. He was also a devoted philanthropist, donating numerous art pieces to his beloved country of Colombia.

His impact on the art world cannot be overstated. With over 50 exhibitions in major cities worldwide, his work has been appreciated by countless art enthusiasts. As we mourn the loss of one of Latin America's most celebrated living artists, we also take comfort in the knowledge that his legacy will live on through his art and philanthropic contributions. Our thoughts are with Botero's loved ones during this difficult time.
