J&L Constructores

Artistic duo Jimmy Espinosa and Lina Prieto dedicate their artistic practice to preserving the visual memory of Colombia’s urban and popular culture. Known collectively as J&L Contructores, their depictions of the country’s changing environment capture everyday scenes and social dynamics that might otherwise pass below the radar. Their paintings of Bogotá’s domestic windows, each protected by an intricately crafted grille, act as unconventional and sensitive portraits of a city and the inhabitants that make it thrive.
