Ekeko (Ian Pierce)

Ekeko a painter, mosaic artist and muralist with vast experience in large scope artwork in public spaces. He has developed projects as a solo artist or in teams, having accomplished many murals and educational workshops in Chile, Venezuela, Canada and the USA. Through his murals he seeks to connect the viewer with important themes such as individual and collective memory, latin heritage and cultural identity. An important feature in his work is the constant search to reconnect beauty and poetry with the everyday life of people and their communities; redeeming their struggles and dreams through art.
Although born in the US, he has lived most of his life abroad, especially in Chile, where he currently lives.

Giuliano Da Lorenzo

José Giuliano Da Lorenzo Pino was born in Santiago,Chile and has lived in Panama City since 1994. He studied drawing and ceramics at University Metropolitana, Santiago de Chile and Architecture at University of Panama.

Giuliano works with pastels, watercolours and oils in an exploration of vivid colour and fragmented forms, where visions of an ethical, social and ecological world are combined. His large canvasses affirm the voice of the free man, evoking spaces of a consciousness that travels through time.

He is an artist who is not indifferent to his roots and social environment, in this way, he tells stories using an iconography that evokes ancestral rites, within mythical landscapes.

Giuliano has previous exhibited his art at

• 2002 Creating Spaces, Art Gallery National Institute of Culture
• 2003 Collective National Bank of Panama

Guiliano's canvasses are available for purchase during the exhibition.
