Aurora Bueno Celis

My earlier paintings are Surrealist and the human figure the main element of my compositions. The strength of my work finds its most concrete manifestation with the purity and intensity of color as well as the three-dimensional character, impression caused by the textured treatment on my paintings.

In the 80's my work turns to Expressionism; Latin American and Colombian history become a strong topic in this second period of work.

My work is currently produced through eclecticism, using large formats in oils and acrylics, sculptures and murals, drawings and watercolors, as well as small experimental works with mixed techniques.
