Bio

  • "MY ART IS VERY MUCH ABOUT MYSELF AS AN ARTIST AND HOW I SEE THINGS; AS OPPOSED TO MY OPINION TOWARDS SOCIETY OR SOMETHING ELSE. IT’S MY OPINION OF HOW PEOPLE PERCEIVE ME; AND HOW I AM PRESENT IN A PLACE. I DON’T ASSOCIATE MY ART WITH MY EMOTIONS; IT’S MORE ABOUT MY MIND AND EXPRESSING A THOUGHT."

  • FELIPE CHAVEZ

    Growing up in Colombia, from a young age he saw his potential within the arts and decided to study art in college and with a plan to start a degree in architecture; he found himself fascinated by the 3D form, but not how its purpose preceded its figure. By prioritising conceptualism over the structure, he soon decided to withdraw his university application and concentrate his career on the practice of fine art. Self-taught, Felipe draws inspiration from artists such as Emil Alzamora with his figurative isolating sculptures, Egon Schiele, and the dark mind of Berlinde De Bruyckere.
