The Artist behind the paintings.
As a Colombian Artist, my goal is to make you feel as if you're standing below the tallest palm trees in the world at Cocora Valley or as if you're gliding through the liquid rainbow river at Caño Cristales.
​
When you buy one of my paintings, you take a small piece of Colombia with you.
My name is Gustavo Tapias, I am an arepas and hot chocolate lover first and foremost.
I was born in the small town of Santa Elena in Medellin, Colombia, where the biggest flower festival in the world happens to occur, "La Feria de Las Flores". If you're wondering what gave me the inspiration to become an artist, that's a SMALL hint.
​
Growing up with so much captivating beauty in the nature around me, I found myself enamored with the stunning waterfalls, giant palm trees and colorful rivers encompassing my little piece of the world.
​
What better way to share this newfound beauty with the rest of the world, than to take a snapshot, like a picture, but living within the experience as I document it?
​
I'm very passionate about my paintings and enjoy every step of the process. These paintings tell the beautiful stories of the natural world surrounding us.
¡Hola!
