Bogotá, its stories and its contradictions, illustrated through my own eyes. 3 Colores is an art project where I explore ideas, lived experience and the social and cultural problems of Bogotá, the city I live in. Across ten illustrations, I translate situations from my surroundings into images meant to provoke thought and to show how I read urban reality.
Each piece was made by hand, screen printed on clear acrylic, combining illustration, contrast and a three-colour palette that gives the exhibition its identity.
More than showing what I see, this project is a way of saying what I think — of turning what troubles me about the city into a visual language of my own.
The idea for this show began in 2019, when I already had a handful of ideas and a way to make them real. It is made up of ten pieces, each on a different subject but all using the same technique. Like everything an artist makes, these pieces are a part of me — I invite you to stay and go through each of them with me.
