Curated by Inés Morales, this exhibition allowed me to explore what is hidden in the everyday. Through my photographic series, I invite the viewer to discover what may not always be evident at first glance, encouraging a deeper connection with nature and our surroundings. My work seeks to transform the landscape into a visual metaphor that evokes emotions and challenges us to look beyond the visible.

In this show, I share the space with talented artists like Alejandra Guzmán, Ana Tamayo, Carolina Ospina, and Felipe Dothee, creating a creative dialogue that invites reflection on what "seeing" truly means.

The term “psychedelic,” coined by British psychologist Humphry Osmond, means "soul-manifesting". In this exhibition, Ana Tamayo and I, Mario Jaramillo, explore how art can evoke profound sensations through nature.

My photographs aim to convey calm and reflection, linking my life experiences with the landscape, nature, and humanity. Each image invites the viewer to embark on an introspective journey, raising awareness of the beauty surrounding us, often overlooked.

Being part of Anthology was an unforgettable experience, a collective exhibition celebrating the journey and vision of Ocre Gallery. Alongside more than 40 artists, I had the honor of contributing my work to this retrospective, showcasing the gallery's commitment to Colombian art in all its expressions. This exhibition was a moment of connection, a moment of reflection, and a tribute to the shared path we've walked together in the art world.

Participating in Prohijar was an honor and a special opportunity to support the important work of Corporación Prohijar, which for over 25 years has helped vulnerable children. My work was part of this exhibition alongside those of other talented artists such as Nadín Ospina and Federico Uribewho, like myself, donated pieces to support this cause. This experience was a powerful reminder of art’s potential to transform lives and connect with something far greater than ourselves.

For me, mountains and light represent a personal journey, taking me through natural parks in Utah (United States) and Colombia. This series emerged from the need to contemplate nature through the lens of autumn, capturing in my photographs a unique sense and story within each image. 

In this exhibition, the mountain symbolizes life itself. As I journey toward the summit, I reflect on the seasons as interwoven cycles: spring brings birth, summer radiates with vitality, autumn, with its mindfulness, softens the light and colors, blending yellow, red, and white sunsets that evoke the "frailejón" flower, a symbol of Colombia’s páramos. Winter, finally, closes these cycles.

This exhibition is the result of a ten-year personal journey, during which I sought to connect with nature in a deep and reflective wayEarth represents living intensely in the present; Light captures the moment when, with a single click, my camera connects nature with my inner world; Ice is about exploring reflections and ephemeral landscapes that inspire awe and transformation. 

Each photograph in this series reflects introspective moments I encountered during my travels through Colombia, Argentina, Iceland, Turkey, Africa, and the United States. In them, I materialize emotions, fragments of time, and unique aesthetics in landscapes, flora, fauna, mountains, water, and sky, inviting viewers to awaken to both inner and outer dimensions as they experience my work.
