Juan is a multi-media artist based in Columbus, OH, USA. Originally from Bogota, Colombia, Juan graduated from The Ohio State Univeristy with a BFA in Painting and Drawing.

Juan’s passion for art was passed down from his grandfather, an oil painter who instilled seeing the beauty in the simple things to him from a young age. This lesson has evolved into Juan’s desire to honestly create and capture the full spectrum of human emotion. In his oil paintings, Juan strives to portray the beauty, feelings, and music of his home country. Predominantly a stilllife artist, Juan aspires to accurately capture the serenity of everyday simplicity, just as his grandfather taught him growing up in Colombia.

Throughout this process, Juan was captivated by photography. This accentuates his painting and drawing, and allows him to further tell the human story through images. His photography includes editorial/commercial work as well as documentary and wedding photography. To see samples of Juan’s work, check out the Photo tab above.
