Javier Bohorquez

Javier Bohorquez is a photographer and contemporary artist born in Colombia. He recently
relocatated to Dallas, TX from New York. His work is signed as Jabo.

The beauty of nature has inspired his love for photography. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion. His work has evolved over the years, guided by a strong interest of exploring and mixing different mediums.

His photographs are the foundation of his abstract artwork. His creative process involves layers of
imagination that create powerful compositions where color plays a dominant role. The strong
connection to vibrant colors come from Jabo’s Latin roots.

Jabo studied at the International Center of Photography in New York and the Applied Art School in Amagansett, New York. He supplemented his formal training by studying with such talented and gifted photographer as Scott Kelby, a master in digital photography. Nonetheless, experimentation has been his most effective teacher! He is amazed at how things do not always appeared as they seem… “There is a surprise factor that we should always keep in mind”, he says.
