About me

Colombo American Artist. Born in Medellin -Colombia
Embodies a rich tapestry of artistic exploration and cultural fusion. From an early age, Jaramillo's insatiable imagination and curiosity propelled him into the world of art, where he experimented with various media, mainly ceramics and drawing. This early engagement with creativity laid the foundation for a lifelong journey through the diverse realms of artistic expression.
As he matured, Jaramillo's artistic development was significantly influenced by a range of iconic figures. The intricate works of M.C. Escher, the surreal landscapes of Salvador Dalí, and the imaginative narratives of Moebius (Jean Giraud) resonated deeply with him. Additionally, the architectural genius of Antoni Gaudí left an indelible mark on his artistic sensibilities, particularly in the way Gaudí's structures evoke a sense of emerging archetypes. This eclectic mix of influences reflects Jaramillo's commitment to exploring the boundaries of artistic expression, as he sought to synthesize these inspirations into a unique style.
The year 2000 marked a pivotal moment in Jaramillo's career when he relocated to the United States. This transition catalyzed the evolution of his artistic voice, allowing him to develop a powerful and distinctive style that integrates his Colombian heritage with the diverse cultural landscape of his new home. In the United States, Jaramillo found a platform to further his artistic inquiries, delving into the therapeutic aspects of art. His work now encompasses a variety of disciplines, besides painting, photography, dance, theater, music, and poetry, reflecting a holistic approach to creativity.
In his current practice, Jaramillo is particularly fascinated by the intersection of art and science, specifically the connections between quantum physics, paint, and music. This exploration reveals a profound understanding of how different forms of expression can resonate with one another, creating a dialogue that transcends traditional boundaries. By investigating these relationships, Jaramillo not only enriches his own artistic practice but also contributes to a broader discourse on the role of art in understanding complex concepts.
Through his journey, Oscar Jaramillo exemplifies the transformative power of art as a means of personal and collective expression. His work serves as a testament to the enduring impact of cultural influences and the potential for artistic exploration to foster connections across diverse fields. As he continues to navigate the intricate landscape of creativity, Jaramillo remains a compelling figure in the contemporary art world, inviting audiences to engage with the profound questions that arise at the intersection of art, science, and humanity.
