RAMIREZLOZADA
My name is Mauricio Andres Ramirez Lozada.
I am a bachelor in fine arts from the Jorge Tadeo Lozano University located in Bogotá, Colombia.
I use photography as a tool for exploring concepts related to identity, urban environments and its intersections.
Here you will find a display of earlier works as well as current projects, not in chronological order.
My home city proves to be a rough and even uninviting environment. This has actually proven to be a very fertile
ground to develop questions about my own place and the way I react towards the aparent inherit hostility of
the country I have been born into.
I know I am a city animal and I embrace it now.

I never really took this seriously, but I do understand now the importance of exploring my surroundings as a
fundamental part of getting to know myself.
A real artis has to be willing to try.t

Sometimes I wish I had more time off.
Ongoing projects.
Gestures that might come from random encounters, with people, garbage on the streets or even fashion
