Bio
Plastic artist and educator. I hold a DNSEP Master’s Degree in Art (Master II) from the École Supérieure d’Art de Lorraine in Metz, France, and a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano. I complemented my education with studies in artistic techniques with an emphasis on color arts at the Escuela de Artes y Letras and in artistic photography at the Academia Francesa de la Imagen. For seven years, I was a professor of Poetic Thought at Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, where I am currently part of the Observatory of Social Poetics (OPS).
