Jose Sierra was born in 1991 in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. He obtained his Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the University Institute of Fine Arts and Science of Bolivar (UNIVAC) in 2012 with a body of work titled, Anti-Personnel Grids, which has since exhibited in different locales of Colombia. Shortly after, he was commissioned by the Colombian Ministry of Culture alongside the artist collective Si Nos Pagan Boys to participate in an urban art exposition titled, “La Muerte Se Va de Vacaciones” (“Death is Going on Vacation”) that was executed as a reaction to the traditionalism of Cartagena. In 2014, Sierra exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Cartagena and in La Presentacion Casa Museo Arte y Cultura. He then exhibited in the Cultural Center Ciudad Movil in 2016 with a body of work created in collaboration with the Colombian photographer, Camo. In the same year, Sierra was nominated for the International Luxembourg Art Prize for his recent work, Self-Portrait. Sierra’s ongoing body of work continues to be based around his self-representation from which he addresses a homoerotic gaze through the configuration of abject staged environments that he merges himself within as a subject of aesthetic creation.
