In the everyday details of Bogotá’s streets, windows and doorways lies a living archive of stories. Colombian artists Lina Prieto and Jimmy Espinosa, also known as creative duo J&L Constructores, have made it their mission to capture these stories in painting. Their work translates overlooked urban elements into powerful visual narratives, now available as collectable art prints for lovers of contemporary Latin American art. In this interview, we dive into their creative journey, their celebrated Umbrales (Thresholds) series, and the real human lives reflected in their work.

Colombian artist Juana Gaviria has built a distinctive artistic language rooted in intuition, structure and colour. With a background in architecture and design, studying at Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá and the Rhode Island School of Design, her journey from architecture to abstract art reflects a desire for creative freedom and emotional clarity.

Working from her studio in Bogotá, Gaviria creates abstract paintings and architectural wall reliefs that bring a sense of calm and order to an otherwise chaotic urban environment. Deeply influenced by Bauhaus principles, minimalism and colour theory, her work explores balance, repetition and emotional regulation through form.

In this interview, Juana Gaviria speaks candidly about her intuitive creative process, her relationship with colour, how her environment shapes her work, and why being an artist is less of a sprint and more of a marathon.
