Salazar Adriana
Interdisciplinary artist, who works with installation, sculpture and painting. In her art, she focuses on recognising the limits between the natural and the artificial. Based on her observations, she creates kinetic art objects, which perform various impractical, sometimes absurd actions: a cigarette-smoking machine, a machine which tries to thread a needle, a crying machine. Her works are based on simple designs and executed manually, while their movements may seem clumsy.
Adriana Salazar has graduated in Fine Arts at the Jorge Tadeo Lozano University in Bogota and in Philosophy at the Javeriana University in Bogota. Her works have been shown at international exhibitions, festivals and art biennales in Europe, Asia, North and South America. She is a holder of a scholarship of the Akiyoshidai International Art Village in Japan and the Nordic Artists’ Centre in Norway. She lives and works in Bogota.
