Gustavo Piedrahita

A self-taught artist from Medellín, Colombia, born in 1952.

My work is both figurative and abstract, and thanks to the synergy between these styles, I enjoy creating works of syncretic expressions.

My figurative art is realistic, portrayed through compositions of “Still Life” and “Human Figure,” as well as pieces where, as an artist witnessing my time, I tackle social, environmental, and scientific themes, along with some myths from our magical realism.

Abstraction plays a key role in my artistic expression. However, I do not view abstraction merely as a field of chromatic or gestural expression. Instead, I use color, form, line, and gesture in the broadest possible context to speak about us, and our reality, evoking, suggesting, and revealing what defines and affects us.
