about the artist: adriana lopez-ospina
Adriana Lopez-Ospina is a Colombian American mixed media artist currently working on her series All That Glitters is Fools Gold. She draws inspiration from one of the most prominent museums in Colombia, the Museo del Oro. The museum is home to the largest collection of gold artifacts in the world and serves as a glimpse into the life and memory of the indigenous communities that lived in present day Colombia. As a Colombian born American Adriana is only now starting to learn about the deep cultural significance gold had to the indigenous communities. She aims to reflect on her life and memory and leave behind a visual record like those that came before her.
