STATEMENT
My work investigates the limits of representation and perception, exploring how images construct meaning. My practice spans photography, painting, drawing, installation, sound, and writing, challenging conventional forms of creation and expanding the possibilities of vision.
I aim to make the invisible visible, blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction. Through a poetic and experimental language, my pieces reveal tensions between the tangible and the ephemeral, the said and the implied, the objective and the open-ended. For me, fiction is not merely a resource but a space where the structures that shape our perception can be questioned.
In my exploration, technology, culture, politics, and history emerge as forces that influence how we see, relate, and construct meaning. My work is activated through interaction with those who experience it, challenging traditional notions of authorship and generating new dynamics of participation. In a constant state of inquiry, my practice remains open, continuously transforming.
BIO
Juliana Hoyos (Manizales, 1992) is a multidisciplinary visual artist born in Colombia, currently based in Barcelona. Her practice investigates the limits of perception, representation, and the construction of knowledge through the image, spanning photography, installation, sound, drawing, and writing. Through documentary, poetic, and experimental languages, her work explores how visual technologies mediate our relationship with the world and make visible what escapes direct perception.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona (2022). Her transdisciplinary approach engages in dialogue with science, philosophy, and literature, proposing visual experiences that invite critical and speculative observation. In 2024, she presented her solo exhibition Wanderlust at La Casa Elizalde Cultural Center, and participated in group shows at Fundació Felicia Fuster (2023) and Sense Títol 22 at the University of Barcelona (2022).
In 2023, she was an artist-in-residence at Bòlit, Centre d’Art Contemporani de Girona, where she continued her research on the relationships between image, territory, and memory. That same year, her work was featured in Desplazamientos voluntarios (i un espacio común), a publication that reflects on mobility, shared space, and the poetics of transit.
In her practice, fiction becomes a space of inquiry and possibility, where tensions between the tangible and the ephemeral, the analytical and the intuitive, unfold as forms of visual thought. Her work remains in constant transformation; open to dialogue, experience, and the active gaze of the viewer.
