Yosman Botero (Cúcuta, 1983) is an artist whose work focuses on decolonial dynamics within the Colombian "post-conflict" context. He explores various social, political, economic, and cultural factors shaping Latin American contemporary life. Decades of violence in Colombia have left many ecosystems untouched, but today, conflicts arise over territorial boundaries between indigenous communities and multinational corporations eager to exploit natural resources. These disputes echo larger global crises, such as the climate emergency and the growing demand for clean energy, which often overlook the destructive processes of extracting minerals like gold, lithium, and rare earth elements. With a strong academic background that spans several internationally recognized institutions, Yosman brings a nuanced, critical approach to his art. His work engages deeply with power dynamics and human perception, creating a space for reflection on the hidden realities beneath everyday life's surface. Through a diverse range of media—including painting, installation, and video—Yosman challenges viewers to question what they take for granted and to confront the forces that shape their understanding of the world. His approach resonates with Eugeni Trias’s description of his work, which exists in a tension between the beautiful and the sinister. This duality reflects the complexity of the human experience, illustrating how power structures and societal forces influence our perceptions. In his practice, Yosman blends the concept with the sensory, creating experiences that engage the viewer visually and provoke deeper reflection on the socio-political and environmental contexts in which we live. Influenced by José Roca’s idea that genuine internationalism is rooted in local contexts, Yosman aims to illuminate overlooked events and offer alternative perspectives. His work seeks to create narratives that resonate across different cultural and geographical boundaries.
