"The multicultural upbringing and travels between my native Colombia and United States has and continues to help me gain and understand a wider perspective in my artistic interests. From Colombia’s vibrant culture, colors, sounds and dense natural scenery, to the States’ vast landscape and fast-paced urban environments, there are multiple elements I can pick from each location and merge into the pictorial and self-idealistic vision I'd like to represent."

Fresco Exchange

This fall, Colombian muralists are traveling to the US to participate in urban art projects, pop-up exhibitions, and community workshops on both the East and West Coasts.

Fresco Exchange aims to promote and connect artists on an international scale. The exchange is fueled by the notion that art can serve as a tool to travel, learn, and experience new cultural settings, as sometimes political borders can present difficulties for individuals to travel between certain countries. We encourage and select artwork through a curated process to participate in gallery exhibits across collaborating cities. We also aim to host artists from different backgrounds and work to establish a relationship where individual artists can contribute and participate in locally organized public art projects, including murals, workshops and presentations.
