Juan Barón
Artist | Muralist | Illustrator
Pictorial artist, born in Sogamoso, Boyacá, Colombia. With a mostly empirical background, with experience in graphic design, digital illustration, traditional painting, and muralism. The conceptual orientation of his works covers environmental, ancestral (pre-Hispanic cultures of the Cundiboyacense territory), traditional, territorial and/or fictional themes; always building from the historical past, oral tradition and regional Boyacense customs in order to strengthen, generalize and disseminate identity and cultural knowledge, both personal and community.
