Artist Statement:
For a long time, I have
maintained a great interest in
the relationship between our
unconscious life and the
symbols by which humanity
interprets and represents the
transcendent. I believe in the
existence of parallel
dimensions of reality. My
painting is the attempt to
suggest this coexistence. I
use the artistic mediums that
allow me to experience and
suggest my restlessness to
others. I express myself
primarily through painting and
drawing, but I extend my
explorations through the
technical possibilities of
digital photography and
installation art.

| Your Personal Biography |
Nicolas De la Hoz was born in 1960 in Cartagena, Colombia. Most of his childhood was spent in Barranquilla and Bogota, Colombia. In 1984, he studied drawing and painting in the private workshop of David Manzur.
Before the beginning of his artistic career, De la Hoz has been interested in the oneiric process and the unconscious world introduced by the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung. The literary works of Julio Cortazar, Jose Donoso and some of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s early stories, so called 'magic realism', taught him to give a plastic interpretation to their contents. In his compositions, we can see two or three juxtaposed areas of different geometrical shapes, visually balanced. Daily elements, animals and anonymous people take their place inside them. In this way, De la Hoz suggest us an unexplainable interaction of realities. Nicolás develops his artistic work mainly with the technical resources of the easel painting. Color and organic textures play a fundamental role in integrating the structures of his designs.
His works have been auctioned at Christie's and Sotheby's in New York City. |
