Cristina Velásquez - Juan David, 2021

My work is a tribute to the everyday struggles of working class families that resist and find joy in the midst of informality and precarious forms of labor. It is also a love letter to my childhood days and memories from Colombia –the smells, the mountains, the stories–. Their imprint will forever infuse my artwork and the way I experience the world with a sense of dignity, absurdity and joyous color.
