Piece description from the artist
Siloe is a neighborhood in Cali, Colombia located in the foot hills of the western cordillera.
An "invasive" community, it is a large neighborhood dealing with negative connotation, crime and limited opportunities. Though most residents are proud and resilient, they must go through a lot to survive. The day I came across this scene, a group of artists and I embarked on a journey to paint murals for the people of Siloe.
Colombian born artist focuses on the practice of painting. themes vary from industrial and urban landscape to abstract arrangements of nature and man made scenery. Color is a specific focus that plays a role in composition, and the way the viewer might perceive an image. Stylized and abstract colorful backgrounds balance the detail representational imagery often portrayed in his paintings. Felipe currently works and resides in the Boston area. for more info please visit www.felipeortiz.com
