SANTIAGO AYERBE MORENO Visual Artist. Statement I’m a lover of the visual narrative, I believe that drawing is a form of writing in which the possibility of building worlds through images, based on the continuity of the line, is unlimited. The way we think nowadays links immediately words with images and the other way around, and I have found in this technique a form to merge both ways of communication. This way of expression has led me to find a way to unveil the insides of a person or thing, those subtle stories and memories that are immersed in every single thing. We grow; we feed and communicate with images. So we are, reflections, shadows and accidents. Because of Internet, TV, media and all different communication devices, we are losing our capacity of contemplation; standing in front of an image. Also, we enjoy more to watch images in our screen than feel the plastic sensation of a live piece of artwork. We don’t read, we don’t look deeper inside the images. I want to make people stay in front of my work, read, feel and connect with the images inside, try to unveil the drawing and how the image interacts with the person and the other way around. Every single piece has a different experience live. FB PORTFOLIO-ART http://on.fb.me/portfolio-ayerbe

"Santiago  Ayerbe,  an  outstanding  Colombian  artist,  is  among  a  group  of  emerging  young  artists  in  the  local  Colombian  scene  for  several  years.  With  his  unique  style  and  natural  talent  for  an  un-­‐common  mix  of  techniques,  he  represents  the  new  generation  of  Colombian  artists  who  is  making  a  difference  in  both  the  artistic  landscape  of  Colombia  and  globally.  He  is  fighting  the  overwhelming  flow  of  information  that  out  modern  world  provides  and  that  which  is  making  our  attention  span  shrink  by  creating  images  made  up  of  tiny,  integrated  images  that  will  make  one  stop  and  look  further.  Within  each  piece  he  creates,  thousands  of  details  exist  that  will  make  one  stare,  searching  to  find  something  different.    With  each  blink  a  new  story  and  a  new  meaning  emerges.    He  is  providing  the  viewer  with  the  experience  of  interpreting  a  story  in  one  single  image.  Santiago  combines  two  of  the  most  important  characteristics  that  we  look  for  in  artists:  a  unique  vision  and  hard  work.  Not  only  does  he  create  mind-­‐blowing  visual-­‐stories,  but  he  never  stops  working  to  make  the  world  see  his  art,  including  the  art  of  others.    He  is  one  of  the  creators  of  the  “Colectivo  Yavería”  which  is  a  project  to  unite  artists  and  make  art  available  to  everyone  by  making  festival-­‐like  events  including  expositions  by  visual  artists  and  concerts  by  musicians.    In  addition,  “Yavería”  provides  classes  and  seminars  to  teach  and  encourage  people  to  make  better  art"
