Georgina is a young native of Cali, Valle del Cauca in
Colombia, who, when she was a child, for family
reasons, went to live in Venezuela.
When he was in high school, as part of the study
program, he took 2 semesters of art.
This fact would undoubtedly influence the discovery
of his abilities and vocation.
Years later, she returned to Cali and ventured as a
model, waitress and dancer.
These occupations gave him the ability to empathize
with people.
She managed to get contacted by an agency located
in Cartagena to do a photo shoot.
In this city she fell in love and had a son with a native of the town of Santa Ana, where she currently lives.
3 years ago she began making paintings for herself,
remembering what she learned so many years ago,
and her husband, recognizing her talent, motivated
her to show it to the world with the expectation that it
could become a means of income for her.
They knocked on many doors and after many
brushstrokes, he managed to get his paintings to have
a stand in one of the most recognized hotels on the
Island of Barú, where tourists appreciate and buy his
paintings.
Today, in addition to paintings, she also makes
personalized bags inspired by her Afro-descendant
ancestry and has the dream of having her own gallery,
çwhere she can generate employment for women and
teach boys and girls to express themselves through art.
