This intriguing photograph captures the vintage allure of a building adorned with the bold, vertically-aligned lettering of "TROPICS." The building's façade features a striking combination of pastel hues, predominantly soft pink and creamy beige, evoking a sense of nostalgic charm reminiscent of mid-20th century architectural aesthetics. The sunlight enhances the colors, imbuing the scene with a warm, inviting glow. Towering palms frame the image, their vibrant green fronds juxtaposing sharply with the building's pastel tones and adding layers of depth to the composition. The palm trees not only emphasize the tropical theme but also guide the viewer's eye towards the prominent "TROPICS" sign, which dominates the artwork with its retro-style typography and subtly illuminated lettering. The sky in the background, a clear expanse of blue with a few wisps of clouds, further enhances the serene atmosphere, suggesting a locale that is both exotic and relaxed. The structure's minimalistic architecture, characterized by clean lines and smooth surfaces, underscores an era of simplicity and elegance. This artwork is a compelling celebration of tropical ambiance and nostalgic charm, seamlessly blending natural and architectural elements. It invites viewers to step into a bygone era of leisurely glamor, where the allure of the tropics is poetically captured and preserved.

Presentation
Born in Colombia. His personal and artistic journey is closely linked to the conflicts that have taken place and that persist in the country. Moreover, he is strongly attached to the identity of the city of Medellín, where he is developing a social photographic project with disadvantaged and stigmatized communities, in collaboration with independent, private or public structures of the city.
In general, he deals with subjects around the Mediterranean since he lives all year round in Marseille, in France. He is influenced by the painter Edward Hopper, the photographers Elliot Erwitt, Martin Parr and Peter Lindbergh.
His work revolves around a socio-cultural and environmental axis, while bringing a "pop" touch to the world of travel, urban culture and youth. He also likes to add a flavor of irony, mixed with an avowed minimalism in his shots. He likes to reappropriate the social issues that shape our generation and deconstruct certain myths that the dictatorship of the image imposes in our collective thought. He regularly collaborates in the world of fashion in Marseille and was invited to the Milan Fashion Week in 2023.
Selected by Klaus Fruchtnis, director of the photography department of the École supérieure d'art de Paris, to represent Colombian artists living in France as part of the [Tiempo] event of the Consulate of Colombia. He is also the grand winner of the OFF VISA pour l'Image festival in 2020. In 2023, a projection of one of his works is organized during the "Rencontres d'Arles", at the Rivera Ortiz Foundation. He was also selected to exhibit by the Colombian Ministry of Culture as part of the national day of memory and solidarity with the victims of armed conflict and the 2024 Paris Olympics, to represent Colombian culture, at the Parc de la Villette, at La Casa Colombia.
Finally, he received the Public Grand Prize at the 16th Nuits Photographiques de Pierrevert, with the famous photographer "Reza" as sponsor for this edition.
