DIEGO HERNÁNDEZ
Ibagué, Colombia, 1984.
Master of Fine Arts Departmental Institute of Fine Arts, Cali, Colombia and winner of the Creation for emerging artists scholarship given by the secretary of culture of Cali and the Ministry of Culture of Colombia in 2015.
He has exhibited in important Colombian galleries and museums and is currently working on the series entitled "In Memoriam" for the gallery 12:00 in Bogotá, Colombia.
His work emphasizes the manipulation and intervention of fragments of images, such as photos or stamps, to complete them and
recreate through these, new aesthetic constructions or situations that put in evidence power structures and prejudices subjacent to their speeches. The approach of the image as a mediator and publicitary resource is of the interest and encourages criticism of the artist around questions of power and the marked violence in different areas of modern and contemporary society, this artistic proposal became committed to highlight some of the most compelling events in the history of Colombia in the twentieth century through a deep reflection on the social, political and artistic national archive.
