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.
