Statement

Art and design

by Claudia Rivas

Born in Lima-Perú, Claudia has been working in several advertising agencies, art galleries and independent projects in her country, trying to bring together art and design. She also likes to experiment in new fields making led shoes, boots, videos, accessories and clothes through her brand Poks (www.poksperu.com)

“Walking by this new way I came from Lima to NY. In both places the colors are symbols of the immediate feeling. I try to play with each one; to mix it with movement lines, volumes and virtual spaces; to achieve compositions and try to transmit a little about myself, express myself and motivate my recipients through this language.”

The life of mammals


By Juan Betancurth

JUAN BETANCURTH is a Colombian born artist. He has exhibited his work throughout North and South America, most recently The Queens Museum of Art, Local Project and various public spaces in Lower Manhattan. His work revolves around the exploration of his own life and personal mythology. His mixed media works are created at home, where the space in which his pieces are created takes on as much meaning as the work itself. For more information visit www.juanbetancurth.com
