About the Item

Born in 1990 in Cartagena, Jose Sierra Vega is a prodigious young Colombian photographer. Employing photography as an instrument to explore the human experience, Vega considers the medium as a potent catalyst for both healing his personal wounds and openly expressing his inner turmoil. Intriguingly disquieting and haunting, his photographic work is imbued with a singular aesthetic, wherein his own body becomes a life-size sculpture. Orchestrating his presence before the lens, the young artist allies, blends and fuses his body-sculpture with organic or synthetic elements, creating unusual associations, deliberately provocative and compelling. Drawing inspiration from Robert Malpplethorpe, George Platt Lyne and David Henry Brown, he contrasts his often eroticized body to speak of human desires, whether assumed or not, as well as the violence that surrounds us. His frank and sensitive exposure of the naked, invoking homoeroticism, enables him to address the human experience through its tragedies and societal taboos. Through the graphic power of his images, his photographs also subvert the usual "gaze" on the nude male body, reframing the discourse surrounding masculinity and desire. Living and working in Cartagena, Jose Sierra Vega holds a Master of Plastic Arts from the Institute of Fine Arts of Cartagena. His body of work has garnered significant recognition through numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout South America, including two showcases at the Museum of Modern Art of Cartagena de Indias in 2016 and the Historical Museum of Cartagena in 2019. Winner of several awards and distinctions in Colombia, he also won the prestigious European Luxembourg Art Prize in 2016, which enabled him to exhibit at Galerie Herve Lancelin. His work has been included in numerous private collections in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, the United States, Germany, Ireland and Luxembourg, as well as in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in Cartagena and the Art Museum in Pereira.
