Biography
Manuela Echeverri (Pereira, 1990) began in fashion design before turning to contemporary art; her practice moves across drawing, sculpture, painting, photography and installation, often with participatory elements.
The heart is her recurring motif, used as a metaphor for universal connection. Her large-scale charcoal drawings on Fabriano paper, alongside sculptural pieces, explore memory, identity and the emotional bond between people, communities and territory.
Represented by Galería Duque Arango in Medellín, she presented the exhibition Esporas (2026), featuring portraits of children from different regions of Colombia and a heart-shaped metal sculpture.
