Hernando Osorio

Jaime Hernando Osorio (born 27 September 1953 in Ibagué) is a Colombian painter and print-maker. Educated at the National University of Colombia, he was a member of the Awuyaka street art group. During his New York City period (1981-1985) he focused on etching and lithography. Since 1985 he has been living and working in Vienna, Austria. His preferred techniques are mixed-technique painting on canvas, woodcuts, and linocuts but he has also made paper, produced hand-bound books, and recently created a series of ceramic plate images. His work reflects his concern for wildlife, the role of the human being in nature, and traditions of folk art across the world.
