LANDYS

This morning I cried a little bit of happiness and gratitude. The journey back to Colombia and my roots begun with this commission work by @kiasmaurb in 2022. “Landscapes” became my path back home, as my long black hair was always the connection to my Colombian mothers. The longer the hair, the stronger the connection to earth. Now four years after I am glad to share that Landscapes was selected to Artecamara, an important exhibition of young, rising Colombian artists. The exhibition “Un poder presente en todo el cuerpo” was curated this year by magnificent @melissaar11, main curador of @museolatertulia who focuses on Colombian contemporary art, memory, and counter-narratives of violence. Her work explores how art addresses historical trauma and systemic conflict in Colombia.

The landscape of my dreams finally meets the real landscape of my soul. The rumour says I am the first adopted Colombian artist ever to be selected to this exhibition and definitely the first Finnish artist ever to participate. Welcome to the @programaartbo 24-27.9.2026

Thanks for everyone who has been holding my hand during these windy years, I will never forget it. And thanks @institutofinlandia @taikegram @finlandincolombia @kordelininsaatio @koneensaatio for support me in all these life changing years.
