Art is not defined; it is only named.

Gustavo Piedrahita is a self-taught artist born in Medellin, Colombia. Since he was a child he showed his interest in drawing, but it was only until his adolescence that he was able to turn it into a lucrative activity creating designs for textile printing in a small workshop he owned. After that period, he worked as an electronics technician for thirteen years until 1984 when he made the decision to dedicate himself full time to painting. His themes are, Figure, nature, art and everything that defines and affects us, in figurative and abstract style. He has had individual exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions at home and abroad since 1994. Much of his work belongs to private collections.
