Jorge Cavelier

STATEMENT

At the age of 14, I was bewildered by the magical process of transforming reality by combining lines-colors in a flat surface. I use the Italian old master techniques for preparing the canvas, and select the best kinds of oils suited for the painting. In the installation: “Horizons: Among the Cloud Forest”, the technique of silk drawings and paintings try to evoke that ethereal realm where we exercise the recognition of our universe. Different layers of transparent silk textile add colors, shades of smoky white hues, to create landscapes where the spectator may lose his/her conception of time and space and enter into his/her own interior spectrum of soul qualities.​

CURRICULUM VITAE

Born in Bogota, Colombia, Cavelier works in painting and sculpture. After a brief incursion in architecture and a year of painting at New York University, he traveled to study in Italy in the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze where he finished his BFA in 1982. Returning to Bogota the same year he founded Trazo, an open studio where he worked and taught painting techniques. In June 1999, Cavelier was kidnapped by the Colombian guerrilla group FARC. He was released in 2000 and emigrated to U.S after being granted with an “extraordinary ability” permanent residence visa. Since then Jorge Cavelier lives in Key Biscayne, FL. Several works by Cavelier have been sold at auction, including 'ENCANTAMIENTO', sold at Sotheby's New York 'Latin American Art' in 2009.
