Zulma Catalina Amaya de Bauer (Colombia)
Uno de los propósitos cuando creo una obra es el hecho de poder manifestar diferentes conceptos los cuales coexisten sin fronteras de lenguaje alguno. Por medio de mis obras abstractas manifiesto los elementos intangibles de la existencia matutina influenciadas por la expresión del color y sus diferentes formas. Mis obras generalmente tienen un alto detalle puesto que expresan de mi deseo de alcanzar el balance atravez de la multiplicidad con el propósito de reflejar la complejidad de la conciencia humana.
One of my purposes when I create a work of art is to be able to express different concepts which coexist without any language boundaries. Through my abstract work I manifest the intangible elements of daily life which are influenced by the expression of the color and its shapes. Usually my art is very detailed since I’m trying to express my wish to meet the balance through multiplicity with the purpose of showing the complexity of the human consciousness.
Ana Chacón (El Salvador)
Más que nada, a mí me gusta pintar. Es como una fievre que se me baja. A las noches sueño con mi pueblo, La Palma, que me llena, me da una locura y tengo que levantarme a tomar el momento de inspiración y dibujar, pintar una u otra cosa, como el que escribe tiene que levantarse a poner en papel sus ideas. Doy gracias a Dios por mis manos, y de tener oportunidad de disfrutar mi talento.
More than anything I like to paint. It is like a fever that does not go away. At night I dream about my hometown of La Palma, which fills me up and gives me a feeling of madness, and I have to get up and take advantage of the moment of inspiration to draw or paint something, just as someone who writes has to get up and put their ideas on paper. I give thanks to God for my hands, and for having the opportunity to enjoy my talents.

I like to work and experiment with clay. I use clay to sculpt many different shapes and thoughts. I like to bring alive and share new creations using only my own two hands and body.

I started learning watercolor recently. It is something that I have always wanted to learn. I love the challenges this medium can bring and also the beautiful results that can be accomplished with it. I am just starting and can’t wait to learn more.
Beatriz H. Martinez E. (Colombia)
Por medio del lente de mi cámara, me gusta capturar esos momentos mágicos que hacen que la vida sea especial. Un bautizo, una mujer embarazada y hasta un día en el parque son momentos comunes que podemos vivir todos; pero al capturar el sentimiento que se vive en ese momento, me hace sentir como que vivirá por siempre.
Through the lens of my camera, I love to capture those magic moments that make life special. A baptism, a pregnancy, a day at the park are common moments in most of us, but capturing the perfect feeling of the moment makes me feel like I’m able to keep it alive forever.
Carlos Merino (Spain)
“I’m a cartoonist who designs familiar images and characters that empathize with the viewer and, at a second glance, also reveal an unconventional reading. My work is drawn on paper and then digitalized to be published in print or on the web. I want to communicate ideas that stimulate conversation or thought.”

Teresa Ortiz (Mexico)
A Mexicana-Minnesotana poet and spoken word artist who reflect into my writing my upbringing in Mexico, as well as my life in Central America and Minnesota. Through my poetry, I aim to recreate the lives of indigenous people and immigrants in Minnesota. My poetry is personal and political, visual and descriptive, story-telling narratives that aim to portray my life and the lives of our people. I write in Spanish and in English because I want to honor the diversity of cultures and languages of my ancestors and of my children. I am a member of Palabristas, a Minnesota Latino spoken word collective, and I have had the opportunity to perform in many venues throughout the Twin Cities. My poems have been published in Palabristas chapbooks and I have authored a book of testimonials of indigenous Maya women from southern Mexico: “Never Again a World Without Us”

Idalia Robles y Susana DeLeón (México)
El vestuario está confeccionado de tela, plástico, y plumas teñidas de color verde. El Copilli (corona) está confeccionado de tela, plástico y cartón y está adornado con plumas de faisán y de gallo. El vestuario Azteca fue hecho por mi hija y su madrina Idalia para su ceremonia de pasar de niña a mujer. En él se refleja la naturaleza en crecimiento por medio del florecimiento de la planta del Maiz. El proceso creativo nos permite conocernos internamente y compartir esta transformación con nuestras madrinas.
Antonio Rodriguez (Spain/Mexico)
Soy un fotógrafo que es apasionado por la moda, es por eso que me enfoco en la mujer y la moda que le envuelve, marcar tendencias con estilo y clase.
Christian Villarroel (Chile)
I like to reflect what I feel and my personal thoughts. Mostly I use watercolor and pen but also acrylic sometimes. My goal in Art is to create images that automatically can turn on and motivate the spirit of people to work towards their deferred dreams.
