XOLO CANTILLO
|
|
Jorge "Xolo" Cantillo is a Barranquilla-born pop artist for Colombia's present day. He fuses the mass-media, mass-consumerism pop aesthetic with Colombian icons and a social/political commentary that has plenty to say. His work is sophisticated whilst maintaining tongue firmly in cheek. Original artworks start from about $1,000 USD. Snap him up while he's still relatively (velvety) underground, because he won't be for long.

DIANA HERRERA |
Mega-talented Cartagena-born Diana Herrera blends themes exploring her love of world-travel with the restorative hedonism of her life in tropical Cartagena just as deftly as she mixes the mediums of her contemporary creations (colorful acrylics compete for canvas-space with more unusual supplies such as coffee).
Contact Cartagena Connections to review her portfolio or to discuss commissioning your own work of art. Canvasses can be shipped throughout most of the world. |
COLORFUL IDEAS by MALU CASTRO

Karol (Roll) Salazar's art is both vibrant and moody.. always playing with light and shadow.. with fire/passion and restraint to create images that draw you in and have you seeking more.
She works with mixed media to interpret onto canvas (and even a giant sliding puzzle!) her friends, nature and life here in her hometown of Cartagena. If you'd like to see more, just contact Cartagena Connections and we'll arrange a viewing. |
ARNULFO LUNA
|
|
Cartagena-born and raised, Arnulfo Luna, is one of Colombia's most recognised and celebrated artists. Painting for more than 50 years, he is most known for his hyper-realistic style, which sees reclining women, decomposing trucks and street scenes depicted so accurately and with such minute detail, they appear to be photographs.
