Working through a limited palette and isolated subjects, Mauricio Villamil constructs visual puzzles that invite viewers to participate in shaping their meaning. His painting practice explores the mysteries of existence, offering an intimate reflection on life circumstances and the reason for being. Born and trained in Colombia, he has since lived and worked in the UK and Canada. In this series, he explores curiosity and playfulness as foundations of human perception and innovation, suggesting curiosity as a driving force for exploration rather than practical necessity.
