I'm fascinated with nature in all its forms, and how it manages to strive no matter what. Magpies are a strong presence on the Dublin street space so are electricity cables and posts, elements that are often overlooked but nevertheless part of the landscape creating its own magical beauty, my design could be located almost anywhere in the city, as seeing magpies standing on cables is a common sight around the city, I picked two for Joy.
I am a Colombian architect based in Dublin for the past 17 years and an artist on my spare time mostly using watercolour and line drawing, I held my first solo exhibition at Green Design Build, Leeson Street last year and I have just finished my first commissioned mural in Maynooth Community Unit for Older persons.
