Erika Arias

Colombian Artist, Barcelona based.
Painting with the camera. Spiritual and Therapeutic Photography.

My work is currently the result of an extensive exploration of the body around its identity. The human figure, the tangible, as a container of memory and emotions that are recorded through the physical and emotional experiences we have lived previously. I have reached a point where movement and body expression, the discipline of music, all of this together with elements of nature such as water, have allowed me to understand and discover that there is an implicit and binding therapeutic exercise in this combination of action and expression.
