About the Item

The angel is a being that religion has bequeathed us as a sign of purity, innocence, and goodness, from the same source, we have been sold to the devil as the form that represents evil par excellence, and at all times we have used between the duality of what's good and bad. Goodness, evil, naivety, and sin, a diatribe that has ruled humanity for as long as we can think back. This sample, beyond being a judgment, is the gaze of a creator who, after more than 30 years dedicated to portraiture, has managed to know, experience, and interpret many of the facets of the HUMAN feeling. Mauricio Velez's photographs seeks to refine the viewer's sensitivity and perception of art and the human body, elevating these elements to an aesthetic realm that can inspire, disturb, or provoke reflection. His imagery confronts the audience with themes that resonate deeply, encouraging introspection and dialogue. Vélez’s work spans a diverse range of subjects, from fundamental human concerns such as good and evil or life and death, to vivid portrayals of Colombian society through portraits of its most iconic figures. His socially engaged projects tackle complex issues like violence and conflict, transforming controversial topics into visual narratives that advocate for change. Notable series such as Half Angels, Half Demons and Portraits of Society stand out as pivotal contributions, with the latter becoming a key visual resource for promoting Colombian identity on an international stage.
