Óscar Murillo, Colombian Artist

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting this young Colombian artist in his London studio. Murillo has lived in England for the past seventeen years and at this moment his star is on the rise having had some encouraging  success after a couple of auctions at Sotheby's and Christie's.
We both hail from the same province in Colombia - Valle del Cauca - and I suppose this reason alone elicits feelings of kinship with the young artist. That, and his undeniable talent.
