Patricia Corredor

Patricia Corredor imagines her work “as if the figures and images had the necessity to feel the air, experience climatic changes, and contribute to the landscape in a public space." With themes inspired by experiences from the environment, images, objects that evoke memories, and current personal or societal problems; Corredor is interested in using symbols of nature as a resource in her art.  

Picturing her large-scale sculptural work in open spaces, Corredor develops themes that have a deep relationship with their natural environment. She aims to pose didactic and constructive messages to the observer, bringing awareness to issues of climate change, specifically how it relates to the extinction of species of Colombia's rich flora and fauna. Corredor sees the preservation of nature as a communal responsibility and transmits this message through her art.

Corredor was born in 1960 in Bogotá, Colombia. Studying arts at Los Andes University in Bogotá, Corredor felt more attracted to explore works in 3-dimensional mediums. Influences for Corredor’s work include Magical Realism, artists such as Brancusi, Caro, Oldenburg, and the Colombian Eduardo Ramirez Villamizar among others.

Corredor’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums including The Museum of Modern Art in Bogotá, The International Sculpture Competition and the National Ceramic Event in Bogotá, and the CSE public art exhibition amongst others.
