Through his art, Alejandro de Narváez invites viewers to pause, connect, and experience beauty in spaces both public and private. His technical mastery and deep observation of the world around him make each creation a lasting encounter between art and emotion.

Ana Mercedes Hoyos

Ana Mercedes Hoyos (1942–2014) was a celebrated Colombian visual artist whose career bridged abstraction and figuration, leaving an enduring mark on Latin American art. Born in Bogotá, she became widely recognized for her vibrant explorations of domestic objects, including doors, windows, still-life compositions, and the iconic “palenqueras” of Cartagena—women whose presence embodies the richness of Afro-Colombian culture.

Her artistic journey reflects a continuous evolution: beginning with geometric abstraction in the 1960s, moving toward Pop‑influenced works, and ultimately embracing luminous figurative compositions that celebrate color, light, and cultural identity.

Throughout her career, Hoyos participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions both in Colombia and internationally, earning critical acclaim.

Her works are part of major museum and private collections, including the Guggenheim (New York), Fuji Art Museum (Tokyo), Museo de Arte Moderno (MAM México), Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá (MAMBO), and the Ibercaja Collection (Spain).

Hoyos’ legacy continues to inspire contemporary artists, not only for her mastery of color and form but also for her ability to weave cultural narratives into universal visual language. Her art reflects a dialogue between tradition and modernity, securing her place as one of the most influential figures in modern Colombian art.

Ana Elisa Fernández

Through Art Saat, Ana Elisa Fernández presents a curated selection of her most evocative works, offering collectors an opportunity to connect with pieces that speak to memory, presence, and timeless beauty.

As Lina Sinisterra describes her own work:
“These paintings or connection points are living energy in constant change.”

Tatiana Montoya

Tatiana Montoya (b. 1961, Medellín; naturalizada mexicana en 2001) is a Colombian-born, Mexico‑based visual artist celebrated for her abstract circular paintings, sculptures, and murals. With a career that spans over three decades, Montoya has participated in more than 200 group exhibitions and 25 solo shows in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Her work is distinguished by the innovative use of mixed media, including gold, silver, copper, bronze, and other metals combined with canvas, wood, and paper to create rich textures and shimmering patinas that evoke alchemical transformation.

Montoya’s paintings and sculptural pieces have been featured in prestigious institutions, including the Museo Rufino Tamayo and the Museo de Arte Moderno (MAMM) in Mexico City, the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in Long Beach, California, and the ZB Art Center in Chicago.

Acknowledged in numerous critical reviews and publications, her art offers a poetic exploration of energy, texture, and abstraction — inviting viewers into a dialogue between form, material and emotion.

Maria Paula Alzate

María Paula Alzate Afanador (aka María Kunst) is a Colombian-born visual artist who transitioned from a background in Literature (Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá) to painting after completing a Master’s in Culture, Media and Literature at the University of Mannheim, Germany. It was in 2019, inspired by a transformative visit to the Guayasamín House Museum in Ecuador, that she embraced oil painting and began producing work full‑time, creating over 600 pieces to date.

Her art is known for its expressive use of color, intuitive brushwork, and a sensorial palette that evokes both emotional rawness and poetic harmony. She frequently works in oil, acrylic, and mixed media, exploring the interplay of texture, light, and vibrant palettes to symbolize themes of memory, emotion, and human resilience.

In 2020, Alzate was selected for an international exhibition organized by Artistas Colombianos en Tokio, hosted by the Instituto Cervantes in Tokyo. Since 2021, her work has been featured in exhibitions across Colombia, Europe, and Latin America, including notably the show Entre Colores, presented by Art Saat at the Sofitel Bogotá Victoria Regia in 2024.

Through her art, María Paula Alzate explores themes of roots, loss, change, and healing—such as climate grief and personal trauma—transforming them into narratives of vulnerability and renewal. Color is her language, and each composition is a gesture toward emotional elevation and shared human experience.

Ricardo Jaramillo

Ricardo Jaramillo is an architect who graduated from Fundación Universidad de América. Always driven by artistic expression, he has explored different painting techniques such as charcoal, acrylic, watercolor, and pyroxylin on wood, focusing on color as a bridge between the city and nature. In recent years, his work has centered on oil, inks, and acrylic.

Since his earliest memories, painting and drawing have been a passion and a constant part of his life. This path led him to architecture, where he sought a connection between plastic expression, the city, and the natural environment, as expressed through Impressionism.

As Claude Monet once said: “For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment, but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life—through the air and the light, which vary continually.”
