Melancholic Girl

Rocio is an artist, native to Colombia, who has combined experiences from both her Colombian past and her current life in England, to which she immigrated in 1991.

Now, having spent almost equal periods of time in Colombia and the UK, her confrontation with the duality of her cultural identity manifests itself particularly strongly. However, her spiritual faith and art allow her to celebrate it. Religious ideas, iconic figures, nature, places and imaginary themes are the core concepts that she portrays in her pieces.The contrasts between illusion and reality, and perception and sensitivity, help to shape feelings and attitudes towards her artwork.

Rocio aims to engage with viewers via these same kinds of impulses and open people’s eyes to previously unconsidered ways of seeing and being in the world; or to expand and change the ways of how we view it!

Her work has been exhibited in Colombia, Spain, London, Bath, Bristol and Berlin and her work has been acquired by public and private collectors.
