Juliana Hoyos | Photography

Juliana Hoyos (Manizales, 1992) is an artist who graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona (2022). Her artistic practice and research involve a reflection on representation and experience in direct relation to the nature of perception and a particular interest in exploring its limits and the temporal and spatial poetics involved. She has participated in several group exhibitions in Barcelona and America and currently works based in Barcelona.

The artist explores images, the way they are created, and the way we relate to them, approaching their materiality or illusion through techniques on paper such as experimentation with light and analog photography processes, painting, and drawing, as well as interventions where the trace, movement, and chance guide the performativity of the images. She also uses imagination and space to create representations, exposing the parallels between fiction and reality that interest her. Sound emerges to create more immersive logic and expand the visual universe.

The participation of the spectator is an active part of the creation and experience of her works. Juliana's purpose is to broaden the sensory experience, to promote changes in perspective and closer ways of relating to images and space, and to awaken the imagination and curiosity.
