Andrés Serrano

(b. 1997) is a Colombian Caribbean visual artist currently based in Fort Myers, Florida. His practice emerges from an essential inquiry: exploring the deep relationship between human beings and the land in a world increasingly detached from its natural origins.

He grew up on the Colombian Caribbean coast, in an urban environment largely disconnected from organic life. Cultural contrasts and constant movement shaped his way of seeing the world, where nature became a silent teacher and the city a site of rupture. From an early age, painting became his way of observing and questioning reality, leading him to develop a visual language that engages with nature not as scenery, but as origin and living memory.

A self-taught artist with strong roots in graffiti, Serrano works primarily with spray paint, favors large-scale surfaces, and draws directly from nature as his main source. His practice spans murals, illustrations, and sculptures made from recycled materials, especially discarded tires, integrating animal forms, organic processes, and territorial references. In his work, nature is not decorative; it functions as a living language that exposes tensions between the ancestral and the contemporary, between what we are and what we have forgotten.

Serrano understands his practice as a bridge between art, territory, and life. Through murals, sculptures, and community-based projects, he seeks to create spaces where viewers can pause, observe, and remember that before any system or structure, there exists an essential bond with the earth.
