Nanimals

evoke the magic of seeing the world again for

the first time with the eyes of a child.

In his artistic process,

nano integrates organic
textures and human made objects

into his bronzes to create pieces of art
that reflect the same attention to the magic,

wonder, and creativity that children
Find in the world around them.

Yet, Nanimals are anything but child's play.
They describe, as does a fellow Colombian,

the novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez,
a world beyond the borders of ordinary maps,

where nature, an unfettered imagination,
science and folk lore, monolithic

and modern mechanical society exist seamlessly
together. Observe closely Nano's signature

Nanimals and discover not only
the sight and colors of a Colombian market place,

but a deep respect for life,
clearly observed, where everything,

even mischievous goat balanced
on a pile of cast away tires is amazing~ exceeding amazing.

Nano's Figurative Works

His subject matter, primarily figurative,

describes the essential in the human condition

in a strong and emotionally charged

way. Surface texture is an

important element in his pieces.

The combination of his classical training

and experimentation with materials

has led to the production of

avant-garde art, which 

combines powerful aesthetic considerations

and rich textural surfaces.
