Guilloume is a master of Bolismo, a self-described, emotion filled style using modest forms, textures and shading to portray the vast range of human feelings... from the simple visages of routine daily interactions to those highly complex expressions reflecting the depths and heights of the earthly experience with all its joy, afflictions, hopes and fears.
Born in Colombia in 1957, Guilloume dedicated himself to the arts at an early age, completing his formal studies at Medellin's prestigious Bellas Artes Institute in 1982. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1985 and currently maintains a studio near Sante Fe, New Mexico (USA) where he uses oil, watercolor, oil-pastel, pastel, pencil and ink to create his paintings. An equally accomplished sculpture, Guilloume's bronze and stone creations have been singled out by Sculpture Magazine to place him among the 10 most important sculptors of our day. |
