Painter, historian and art critic from Santander ..

Statement
Showing the pain and anguish of those who wait for bad news, González portrays a constant episode of our Colombian reality. This piece, when read within our context, allows not only criticism, but also the possibility of thinking about another future. It is a positive criticism, in the sense that it holds the hope of those who learn from their history and use memory not as stigmatization, but as a tool to forge new political paths.
