LILY DORADO

I was born into this world without understanding, without remembering where I came from and will go. I felt the pain of the earth, the weak, and the animal.
And it was only by understanding the transcendental wisdom of initiation that I found hope and strength. Today, I put my art at the service of the deep knowledge implied by the relationships of chakras, virtues, and emotions through my experience and senses.
A pictorial narration of a spiritual experience does not conclude in words, and it figures at the beginning of a path to explore painting, color, and transparency.
I am a 40 years old Latin woman. In Colombia, I had the chance to work with many violence victims and people living in poverty conditions. Teaching in this environment has taught me how important art and education can be to reconnect people and help build a healthier society. My life has developed three essential faces: as an Artist, a Teacher, and a part of society.
My current art project is a creative-research (defined according to Ballesteros Mejía & Beltrán Luengas, 2018) that intends to
balance history and the present, taking new techniques to draw old legends inspired by Canadian indigenous beliefs. To boost this late research, I did the drawings of the color of the energy provided by the human body, artwork that I presented in an exhibition at Bogota in 2015.
