Artwork location: France
This vibrant artwork captures the dynamic energy of an amusement park entrance, featuring a distinctive, exaggerated caricature of a smiling face with slick black hair, prominently displayed above the gate. The bold color palette of yellows, purples, and blues makes the roller coaster track behind the gate visually pop, winding playfully in loops and curves. The perspective cleverly juxtaposes the lively, whimsical elements of the park with the calm, blurred presence of a passerby in the foreground, adding a layer of real-world interaction. The woman's attire, with a cozy hat and sunglasses, contrasts with the vibrant amusement backdrop, hinting at a story beyond the immediate scene. The artwork masterfully balances whimsy with an everyday moment, making it both a celebration of amusement park culture and a commentary on the passage of time and human experience.

Presentation
Born in Colombia and adopted in France.
His personal and artistic journey is closely linked to his life as an adoptee in France and to the conflicts that have taken place and persist in his country of origin. He is strongly attached to the identities of the city of Medellín and Marseille, where since 2018 he has been simultaneously developing two distinct artistic and social photographic projects , in collaboration with independent, private or public references and structures from both cities: La Vida Real and Hey Mars
Cited by the Contemporary Art sales platform Artsper alongside Banksy and JR as an artist who can transform the world through his works. He is also the grand prize winner of the OFF VISA pour l'Image festival in 2020. In 2023, a screening of one of his works was organized during the "Rencontres d'Arles" at the Rivera Ortiz Foundation.
He was also selected to exhibit his project in Medellin
by the Ministry of Culture at the Colombian consulate as part of the national day of remembrance and solidarity with the victims of armed conflicts. In 2024, he participated in the cultural programming of La Casa Colombia, the official venue of the Colombian delegation for the Olympic Games at the Parc de la Villette, in Paris.
He received the Grand Prix du Public at the 16th Nuits Photographiques de Pierrevert, with the famous photographer "Reza" as sponsor for this edition. He will be programmed at the Nuit de L'urgence at the Rencontres de Arles 2025. In 2025, he created Marsella Nos Une, a Franco-Colombian collective by setting up a collaboration between four Franco-Colombian organizations based in Marseille and Medellín, united around a common objective: to build bridges for the promotion of Colombian arts, cultures and knowledge in Marseille and the south of France, while integrating the Francophonie and French artists into its dynamic. This collective incorporates his DV Photo Association.
Generally speaking, he deals with subjects around the Mediterranean since he lives all year round in Marseille, France. His work is structured around a socio-cultural and environmental axis, while bringing a contemporary touch to urban culture and youth. He notably carried out a photographic residency with Orange and the OM Foundation or with the SNCG Foundation, for children from priority neighborhoods of the city. He likes to reappropriate the social issues that shape our generation and deconstruct certain myths that the dictatorship of the image imposes on our collective thinking.
He regularly collaborates in the world of eco-responsible fashion in Marseille with Studio Lausié, the only upcycling school in France, as well as with other Marseille brands and artists. He was invited to Milan Fashion Week in 2023 for his commitment to making fashion more inclusive.
