Artist Biography:Alberto Baraya (Colombia, 1968) is a visual artist graduated from the Faculty of Arts of the National University of Colombia and with studies at the Autonomous University (Master in Aesthetics and Art Theory) and Complutense University of Madrid (Multimedia specialist).

His work is represented in the collections of the Banco de la República, Bogotá, Colombia; Luis Ángel Arango Library, Bogotá, Colombia; Instituto de la Juventud, Madrid, Spain; Museo de Arte de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia; Tamarind Institute, Albuquerque, USA; The United States Information Agency, USA and the Fundación ARCO Collection, Spain.is postcolonial and, at the same time, reflects on everyday aesthetic acts.
