BIOGRAPHY
Rossy Yhomailen Moreno Mosquera is a Colombian visual artist whose work delves into the complex emotional and social narratives of her surroundings. Her unique style fuses colors, shapes, and textures into symbolic compositions, where each element reflects a deep contemplation on human life. Through her paintings, she invites viewers to unravel the multiple layers of meaning that make up each piece.
Her art presents itself as a puzzle of emotions: the predominantly feminine images are fragments of stories seeking to rebuild themselves, time and time again. Each piece is like an onion, made up of complex layers that represent the challenges, fears, and strengths that allow people to continue on their journey.
Throughout her career, Rossy has combined her passion for artistic creation with teaching, nurturing new generations of artists. Today, from Dubai, she resumes her path as an independent artist, bringing her authentic and mature vision to an international stage. Her art not only seeks beauty, but also aspires to be a vehicle for transformation, awareness, and deep emotional expression.
Education
2013
Master of Fine Arts
Antonio Nariño University
Bogota, Colombia
The Visual Arts program at Antonio's Nariño university drive me into a world of understanding that conducted me to be honored to receive the Best Thesis Award for my final project, titled Dwelling in the pain,"A series of 15 serigraphs that capture the pain and lived experiences of Colombian women each piece a visual testimony woven with memory, resilience, and the silent strength of survival.". This recognition means a great deal to me, as it reflects the passion, research, and dedication I poured into every stage of the work.
After eight years, my thesis was rediscovered and selected by the Casa Iberoamericana de Cultura in Berlin, leading to its inclusion in a curated exhibition. This unexpected recognition not only breathed new life into my work, but also opened the door to meaningful dialogue within a broader artistic and cultural context.
2009
Master of Fine Arts
Superior School of Fine Arts of Cartagena
As a visual artist with a passion for storytelling through form, color, and emotion. Over the course of my career, I’ve been honored to receive several recognitions that have marked important milestones in my artistic journey.
One of my earliest honors was a Special Mention as a New Artist during a group exhibition at the National Museum of Cartagena for my work titled “¿Y dónde está el perro?” ("And Where Is the Dog?"). This piece opened the door to a wider audience and helped establish my voice as a rising artist.
Later, my university held a tribute event honoring the legacy of Colombian artist Adolfo Mejía, where I participated with my painting “Pétalos en el viento” ("Petals in the Wind"). I was deeply moved to receive First Place in this emotionally significant exhibition.
Another meaningful moment in my career came when I presented “El silencio de los 11” ("The Silence of the 11") a powerful tribute to the tragic events of June 18, 2007, when 11 deputies were assassinated. This work received public recognition for its emotional depth and commitment to memory and social reflection.
In 2006, I received one of my most prominent awards during an event organized by the Mayor’s Office of Cartagena in the context of the Central American and Caribbean Games. My large scale iron cast sculpture titled “Victoria”("Victory") towering 60 meters high was awarded Best Iron Sculpture for its monumental presence and symbolic power.
Each of these awards represents not only recognition but a moment of connection between my art and the public. I remain dedicated to creating works that speak to history, identity, resilience, and transformation.
