I believe it’s possible to generate happiness by designing beautiful objects and spaces. This has been my primary professional focus since I graduated from Architecture school in my native Cali, Colombia, and decided to move to New York City.
Alongside my professional career, I have always pursued other creative outlets like dance, photography, painting, and especially pottery. My ceramic pieces evoke the characters found in the imaginative worlds of celebrated magical-realist novelist Gabriel García Marquez. My pottery is also inspired by the colorful colonial streets of Cartagena, Colombia, which I frequently visit.
Malpaso is an outgrowth of all these passions and influences. It’s the blank canvas I developed for my creative mind to run free finding lively expressions in different ways. Sometimes in words, sometimes in sculptures, always with LOVE.
