Juliana Plexxo
Juliana Plexxo (Born, Aug 1994) is a famle Colombian-born contemporary artist that lives and creat between Barcelona and Miami. Raised in Quito, Ecuador, Plexxo's passion for the visual arts was nurtured by her early exposure to the works of esteemed painter Oswaldo Guayasamín.

In 2019, Plexxo received an invitation to join the prestigious workshop of Joan Barbará  in Barcelona, Spain. This workshop, known for hosting legendary artists such as Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, and Antoni Tàpies, provided her with an inspiring environment to excel in the field of engraving. Plexxo specialized in this ancestral technique, utilizing copper plates to shape her distinctive style. Notably, she chooses to destroy the metal plate after each process, ensuring the exclusivity of her artwork and eliminating duplicates.

Beyond her workshop endeavors, Juliana Plexxo has made her artistic mark through collaborative mural projects. She has contributed to vibrant murals in locations such as the Wynwood district in Miami and the former residence of Simón Bolívar in Ecuador (Hacienda Pinsaqui ).

Plexxo's talent and potential have garnered recognition, as she was nominated for the "Best Young Talent" award by the University of Berkeley, California. Her significant contributions to the art world have also earned her a place on Forbes' 2022 list of the 50 most creative people in the same list as Shakira and Sofia Vergara.

Juliana Plexxo made history as the first female artist to exhibit her work at the La Capilla del Hombre Museum in Quito, following the passing of maestro Guayasamín. Her artwork has been showcased in esteemed locations including Soho House in Los Angeles and Barcelona, as well as the Yacht Club in Monaco. Additionally, she has participated in art fairs across the Americas and Europe, including the notable art fair in Innsbruck, Austria.
