Adolfo Orozco

Adolfo Orozco, a Colombian architect and photographer, was raised on art and reverence of nature. He recalls his mother enrolling him in art classes at an early age, and taking long drives with his father through his homeland, paying homage to the universe through photography. Standing “on top of clouds… like a great mantle of cotton,” he developed keen aesthetic sensibilities and a devotion to nature that have prevailed and largely influence his art today.

The esthetics of architecture, the rituals of his Indian culture, and the magic of the landscapes of Colombia are the pillars of Orozco’s work. Each photo is a prayer beckoning the viewer to bow and acknowledge the glory of nature. His photographs rest on his spiritual foundation, forcing reflection and meditation. Brilliantly capturing nature’s quietest moments, a sleepy, amber sun peeping through the trees wakes the viewer’s sense of both awe and contentment. Adolfo Orozco’s work is exhibited throughout Colombia, where he currently lives. He is represented by the Agora Gallery in New York.
