Artwork description

En Colombia, país multi-étnico, vivimos aproximadamente 10 millones de hombres y mujeres afrodescendientes. Existen regiones donde la mayoría de su población es negra. Esto nos lleva a preguntarnos por la historia de nuestro pueblo afrocolombiano, para conocer, amar nuestras raíces y luchar por el fortalecimiento de nuestra identidad.
CENTRO DE ABASTECIMIENTO Y DISTRIBUCION
Los historiadores señalan que entre 150 mil y 200 mil esclavizados entraron por Cartagena y fueron distribuidos hacia Ecuador, Venezuela, Panamá y Perú. De estos más o menos 80 mil quedaron en Colombia.
Comprados en Cartagena y Mompox eran conducidos hacia los mercados del interior, a través de los ríos Cauca y Magdalena. Como centro secundario de comercio se constituyeron: Popayán, Santa fe de Antioquia, Honda (Tolima), Anserma (Caldas), Zaragoza y Cali.
En los primeros años, de cada 100 esclavos 30 eran mujeres y los otros 70 eran hombres pues los esclavistas preferían a los hombres, para trabajar en las minas y haciendas, se despreciaban a los ancianos y a los niños. Posteriormente, cambian de estrategia y empiezan a traer más mujeres para garantizar el nacimiento de más esclavos.
Actualmente el pueblo afrocolombiano está presente en 800 municipios del territorio nacional, incluyendo las regiones oriental y amazónicas. Los principales territorios afrocolombianos son: las llanuras del Atlántico y del Pacífico, los valles medio y bajo de los ríos Magdalena y Cauca, Urabá y Norte del Cauca. Las concentraciones urbanas más importantes están el las ciudades de: Bogotá, Cali, Medellín, Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Riohacha, Montería, Sincelejo, Buenaventura, Quibdó, Tumaco, Turbo y Guapi.

Artist information

 THE WORLD IS JUST A WONDER, FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IT AND VISUALIZE THE ATTRACTIVE PARALLEL THAT WE SUBJECTLY BUILD.

My pictorial work incorporates landscapes and human figures in its natural scene. Give the body preference over movement, creating a deformity inspired by ambient sounds. These, in turn, help us show frozen color melody on the canvas.
I am the lyrical poetry of the jungle, where the goldfinch is passion; song of the silent harvests of ideas. I am the silent verse when in constant outline; they travel like passing birds.
Left-handed or right-handed movements lead me to deep singing in chromatic time. I am not the genius who glimpses the crowds; I watch and learn how to have some of that passing time.
Color calls me to dance in its brilliant intentions, as a different path to the brilliant horizon; the seconds explode intentionally and without mercy; when your memory does not leave a memory.
As dawn breaks, I go to my destination, armed with visions that conspired in the night in my dreams; closing in the dark eyes and opening the clear sun in silent morning.
Heraldic condition of Don Quixote in penumbrous fright for his beloved in the stars, infinite fire without stopping my hands; dream catcher to enjoy the viewer.
To deform the figures that pass through my brown eyes, to exaggerate the mass in detonating natural movements of the calling tone like a gloomy jungle.
Backgrounds and shapes fly to infinity; like crystals dancing verses on my canvases.
Spaces, backgrounds and shapes, songs of light and dark encounters; saturating the cognition of the infinite frozen poems on the inert wall of sidereal times.
Since I saw him in my thoughts, I lost the identity of being myself; for which reason it has been brutal in my spaces and does not let me sleep.
