ALVARO DAZAPainter and sculptor
From a family of aviators, I was born to be an artist. I flew, thanks to my ancestral blood, towards light and color: My atmosphere, trapped forever in it. So, I continued flying in the magic of color, chemistry, geometry, my passions mixed with the intensity of my creative imagination. With chemistry I get to manufacture the paint with which I paint today; with geometry and metallurgy I discover my sculptural world in the deepest part of my being, and thus my journey will continue forever.
Born in Bogota, Colombia in 1950,
