Oswaldo Gomez,has died at the age of 64 in 2018. She moved to New York from Medellín in the 1970s after spending years working as a lawyer in the City of Eternal Spring. With mounting gang violence and fear of persecution for her sexual orientation, Gomez decided to find a new life in the borough that has become a popular place of residency for Colombian immigrants,she was beloved by all who saw her in the streets, at parades, and in the neighborhood in Queens, NYwearing her colorful outfits and a bird on her shoulder. Her cheerfulness and ability to bring a smile to the faces of all who met her will be missed by all New Yorkers…While life did not always treat Ms. Colombia with all the respect she was due, she will be always remember. I wanted to make a tribute to a character who was larger than life. The colors she used to wear reflect the richness of her soul. RIP Ms. Colombia

I believe that the universal language of the arts can break through cultural and personal barriers bringing us closer together as human beings. I was raised by a strong and loving community of women. They have been a big influence throughout my life. Common themes represented in my work are cultural diversity, gender equality, race and the empowerment of women. I offer my perspective about the characters that I portray that remain close to my heart. Portraying the uniqueness and strength of the individual allows me to speak to the sameness of our humanity in parallel to the beauty of our cultural differences. I do this with a deep sense of respect and admiration for the characters I choose to portray. As a Latino living in the US half of my life creating my own identity has become one of the many challenges in my artworks. Things like education, family, money, politics, religion, and sex; all these topics have affected my life and career. All those things help to define who we are; But, our nature is complex and should not be a label for the social need to look for acceptance. I think we all are multi-dimensional. I always admired beauty, but not only in the obvious stereotype. I always find beauty in the oddest of subjects. Color, lines, composition, and style are important things to consider when I chose an image or character to portray. As years passed by, I have found my inner voice. I believed that what makes us equal is that we are all different. Leonardo Montoya
