ABOUT ME

 

      ORGANIC

 

I was born in Venezuela (1962) I am the daughter of a Franco-Spanish emigrant and a Colombian mother. Of Colombian nationality, I have lived in Bogotá since I was 6 years old.

   I started industrial design studies in Rome, but my training has been mainly self-taught. In my work I have covered various disciplines, from painting and plastic arts; passing through scenography, art direction for theater, cinema and video, to graphic and editorial design for the cultural area, which has been my most frequent activity for 30 years.

   My passion for photography materialized in 2009, and since then it has been my daily bread. So far I have almost 5,000 photographs taken between 2009 and 2022, where the central theme has been Bogotá. I have made several collective exhibitions in the Mü gallery in Bogotá, two of my portfolios were selected among artists from Spain and the world to participate in the Absolut portfolio of Spain 2012 call.  I was the Winner of the IDARTES Chronicle of Daily Life in Bogotá award. 2013, I made my first individual exhibition Asphalt Universes in Sin Title Gallery of Bogotá. I was selected to participate in the Latin American Exhibition of the AACIA 2014 Contemporary Identities / Invisible Gestures, within the framework of the Fotoweek DC festival. (Washington DC) November 2014/ January 2015. In 2015 I held several collective exhibitions in Bogotá, among which stand out; Photographic Bogotá 2015,  Glory/Gloria at the Centro Colombo Americano headquarters, Foto 360 at the 360-degree Gallery in Bogotá DC and Bogotá on Earth , collective exhibition Beca Red Galería Santa Fe District Stimulus Program 2015 , itinerant exhibition that took place at the Virgilio Barco library, and in the temporary headquarters of the Santa Fe gallery. In February 2017 I was selected along with prominent photographers and artists for the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, France. Am  National guest at Fotografica Bogotá 2017, an exhibition that took place in May 2017 organized by Fotomuseo de Bogotá. In October 2017 I exhibited a collective Photokinetic  in  WorkHost  with outstanding photography artists. B ogochromias  which was an individual exhibition of BibloRed in the Tunal, Tintal and Virgilio Barco libraries with a duration of 4 months between October 2017 and January 2018. In March 2019, my individual exhibition Bogotá was inaugurated in venue A : Bogotá: beauty, amnesia and nightmare at the invitation of the Zona Cinco Film and Photography school, I was invited by the same school to the Documenting Bogotá Photoreportage Meeting, which took place from August 14 to 18, 2019 in the city of Bogotá in commemoration of its 15 years of its foundation. In June and July I participated in the collective virtual exhibition TELEFOTO 01 curated by Franklin Aguirre at the Elvira Moreno Contemporary Art Gallery.  I am currently preparing an exhibition for April 14, 2022 in room II of the Inca Garcilaso house  of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru in Lima, scheduled for August-October 2020, but which was postponed due to the pandemic. In this same year I will participate in the Latinas in Paris 2022 exhibition from May 2 to 15 in the same city, organized by Fotogáfas Latam.

  In my activity as a photographer I have presented Bogotografías ( conversation and audiovisual projection ) in Sala Aurelio Arturo, of the National Library of Colombia, Casa Tomada Bookstore, Alejandro Novoa Auditorium of the Javeriana University of Bogotá , and Asphalt Universes in the San Juan Cultural Center Nepomucene of Santa Marta. I was chosen by graphic OPs for their 2016 Calendar.  I have taught photography workshops for the Colombian-French Alliance in Colombia, the Banco de la República and graphic design workshops for various universities in Colombia.

   I was a member  of COPLA (lifetime jury) of the Steel Pencil Award and graphic columnist for the magazine Proyecto Diseño. I have been a jury for numerous photographic and visual contests in Colombia.
