Alejandra Bonilla Restrepo
An artist based in Bogotá, Colombia, Alejandra Bonilla Restrepo develops a work based on fictional strategies and plastic narrations directed towards a reflection on the human condition. Using various mediums such as collage, drawing, artist book, installation and performance, Bonilla Restrepo weaves history, language, imagination and politics into a kind of aesthetical and ethical laboratory.
In 2017, she collaborated with the poetess María Mercedes Andrade to publish a poetry and drawing book entitled Grafía, as part of the illustrated poetry collection of La Jaula Editorial.
