about the artist
Bogota-Colombia 1986
Sandra was born in Bogota, where she studied Visual Arts. In 2012 she moved to Mexico, where she got a CLACSO-CONACYT Full-time Research Scholarship for studying a Master’s degree in Philosophy of Art.
Her thesis was on how Perceptual Systems mediate the relationship of an organism with the environment, and how art plays a role on that mediation.
Sandra has participated in Art Residencies, Exhibitions and Art Festivals in France, Italy, Turkey, Argentina, Mexico, Finland, Colombia, Canada, Belgium and Poland. Some of her work remains in private and public collections in those countries. In 2012, she was awarded the Creativity Prize from the Metropolitan Museum of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with her piece Mineralogia Visionaria.
She believes art is a gateway to the betterment of humanity.
I’m grateful and honoured to be in relation with the people, land and nature in ɬəʔamɛn qaymɩxʷ (Tla’amin), toq qaymɩxʷ (Klahoose), and ʔop qaymɩxʷ (Homalco) First Nations territories. As my pledge for peace, I raise and acknowledge my responsibility and commitment to do all that is within my capacity to stop the chain of harm.
