Alejandro Tobón

(Colombia, 1978)

Visual artist graduated from the National University of Colombia, who also studied fine arts at EPA, Medellín. He has been a teacher and co-founder of several cultural spaces in Medellín. He has exhibited in cities such as Paris, Bogotá, and Medellín, and has participated in group exhibitions in Bogotá, Switzerland, Medellín, London, Paris, Berlin, among others. Awarded prizes such as Medellín a Cielo Abierto and a commission for a monumental work in Cartagena.

His work explores the search for a personal place, the value of land and its distribution, and the power structures that safeguard it. It questions how territory, as a common good, becomes a traded product. He uses drawing, manufacturing techniques, software, and technologies to create installations with reusable materials such as wood, iron, and polymers. He employs geometric and natural forms, integrating principles of industry, architecture, and craftsmanship. His works invite the viewer to interact, reflecting human presence in the territory.
