Camilo Bojacá

Camilo Bojacá (Colombia, 1985) is a visual artist graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (2005). In his practice he explores and mixes different media and techniques that find their inspiration in the landscape and the territory, in such a way that the relationship between development, urban expansion and environment is explored. His delicate pencil drawings, scaffolding made of graphite mines or cement sculptures with bonsai invite us to rethink the role of people as inhabitants of the world.
His constant interest in subjects such as landscape, nature, architecture and the city have resulted in projects such as Weed Garden and Scaffolding where he questions the way we are assuming the city and affecting the natural environment. His work proposes a hybridization where the built and the natural coexist in mutual benefit.
His works can be found in institutional art collections such as the Museo de Bogotá; and private collections such as Claudia Hakim, José Darío Gutiérrez and Alejandro Castaño in Bogotá; or Dario Samada and Susana Fontanals in Miami.
