Throughout his career, Gordillo has explored various techniques and styles, using both oil paint and other media in his compositions. His work often reflects influences from Surrealism and Symbolism, with a particular focus on constructing images that invite reflection and analysis. The artist has participated in numerous exhibitions both in Colombia and internationally, establishing himself as one of the prominent figures in Colombia’s contemporary art scene.

Exhibition: “Humble Colombian Children”

In this series, the painter Omar Gordillo uses his art to address a stark reality, focusing on the lives of children growing up in extreme poverty. Through “Niños Humildes Colombianos” (“Humble Colombian Children”), he portrays the harshness of life faced by many children with an uncertain future and without the protection of a home. At the same time, he highlights their dignity and resilience in the face of adversity.

The exhibition is free to visit and can be viewed during Hispaania Maja’s opening hours (Mon–Fri, 10:00–18:00) at Tondi 42. While you’re here, you can also explore Hispaania Maja’s wide selection of Spanish flavors and bookstore offerings.
