Since my childhood in Colombia, I have been inspired by art and creative forces. My father was a wood craftsman, and my mother was a woman who in every act of her life expressed her creativity regardless of limitations. We were low income family, so strugg les for daily life often took priority, my parents were eager for me to get a safe job as a teacher or secretary. Despite of this, my passion drove me towards art ,and in 1983 I attended my first workshops in photography, painting, and ceramics at Instituto Bellas Artes. This gave me a formative introduction and I have explored all three artistic expressions since then.
