CAMILA BOTERO NOMINATED IN ARTBO FOR THE EFG LATIN AMERICA ART AWARD
The nominated work is Volcán I, III, II from 2019. It arises from a recurring question about the slow processes of change that are currently happening, these that have an intrinsic force and that transform everything around them. Camila Botero was born in Medellín in 1976, where she works and lives.
The volcanoes and their eruptions also allow the artist to address all this accumulated tension and retained energy, which has no other option but to explode and release all their inner force.
The work was selected as a digital initiative at the ARTBO fair with the collaboration of Jaime Cerón, independent critic and curator, together with Celia Sredni de Birbragher, Director and Editor of ArtNexus.
