Santa Fe de Bogotá, 1963.
Period of residence in Piramidón:
May 1999 - September 2007
Work: Painter, photographer, and lithographer, Hernan Ardila creates austere works, devoid of stories and messages to decipher. The color areas in constant motion invite silence, the initiator of all poetic language.
The color planes with hard edges and compositional fragments focus on both the spatial value of the form and on the time of the repetitions and variations of the line, the color and the material.
In his work there is a deep and sincere inquiry, although at the same time light, sensible and practical, on the meaning and the feeling of things.
