Vanessa Gómez C.
Vanessa Gómez's body of work is built around a reflection on the crafts, in particular on traditional Latin American weaving techniques, which represent an exercise in resistance to the hurried rhythms of life and production in contemporary times.
Weaving, the protagonist in her work, not only has a poetic relationship with the utopian structure of society, but is also directly related to the territory and therefore to the resources derived from nature. Her pieces are a tribute to the manual work done by weavers, who, with extensive knowledge inherited from our indigenous ancestors, exalt the textile tradition and perform their work in a conscious and responsible way with the environment.
Daniel Brusatin
Daniel Brusatin is a Colombian-Italian artist based in London. His training in art and design in Florence, Italy, is fundamental to understanding his body of work, as it is the basis of a defense of the most traditional European art. Nevertheless, Brusatin, faithful to his formative bases, adapts the techniques and philosophy of traditional Western painting and sculpture to a risky but coherent exploration of his tradition.
Brusatin's work is a profound exploration of the influence of the forces of nature on the artistic endeavor and how the blurred line between human intention and natural force blurs and reappears in the creative exercise. The question of where the artist's hand ends and natural force begins is his constant preoccupation. His works are the product of the study of the creation of language; he emphasizes the primal impulse to leave a mark, the almost intrinsic intention that, since prehistoric times, human beings have had to leave an aesthetic trace in their wake.
Daniel Nyström
Daniel Nyström's work constantly moves between art, design and architecture, always questioning the intangible limits of the three disciplines. It was in 2002, on his first visit to Colombia, that he found in the country's artisanal tradition the raw material for the development of his work. His pieces are the mixture of two distant aesthetics in body and concept, which manage to articulate masterfully the creation of pieces that respect their Nordic origin, and at the same time, embrace and reinterpret the Colombian ancestral traditions.
His work focuses on the intervention of diverse materials and the search for the limits that exist between them. The observation of the behavior of matter and the aesthetic balance or imbalance resulting from their process of experimentation.
