Alejandra Zamudio is a Colombian artist who lives between Bogotá and Montreal. She earned her degree in visual arts from Concordia University (2019) and has since dedicated herself to drawing, creating independent publications, and teaching art to children. Her artistic practice is based on the need and pleasure of learning to observe and represent the movements of the spirit. For the past few years, Zamudio has sought to represent the feminine spirit in the form of a house. Exploring this architecture has led her to discover unknown doors and meet unexpected visitors. She has thus developed a pictorial world that gives rise to the symbols of dreams; to the stories and angels of her childhood; and to the different relationships that make up life.
El Boga Residence
During her two months of residency at El Boga, Zamudio will continue working around the figure of bats/angels, doors/portals, and the river. Her project will focus on creating a textile and sculptural installation that relates the three symbols mentioned above. This will also be a good time to exchange stories of visitations: both angels and bats, with the local community.
