Marco Muñoz Jaramillo

Marco Muñoz Jaramillo began as a painter and later developed an interest in photography after studying the process of early photographers and their impact on art history. Jaramillo sees photography as a mathematical hybrid of science and art. He is fascinated with the process and enjoys working with people as his subjects. Recently, he has been exploring possibilities of connecting painting and photography. He works with a diverse array of photographic processes, ranging from pin-hole cameras with paper negatives to professional high-tech digital equipment. You can see his photographs documenting the installation process of the Garden Statement in the exhibition catalogue. Jaramillo skillfully engages each artist, grasping the interaction between photographer and subject, capturing unique moments in time.

Marco Muñoz Jaramillo (1957) was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and moved with his family to Washington Heights, spending much of his childhood in New York City during the tumultuous 1960s. Jaramillo received a scholarship from the Arts Student League in New York, studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, and later majored in art history at Kean College. Jaramillo currently works as an art educator at Elizabeth High School. He has shown his work in many institutions such as the Latin American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., and the Brazilian Cultural Center in Sao Paulo Brasil and is collected throughout the globe from Italy to Japan.
