Hello!
My Artistic name is Tottysar, I grew up in small-town called Vèlez Sartander in Colombia. I started painting when I was 15 years old. I was motivated to paint by my own will and to entertain myself. This blossomed over the years and I was influenced by local artists to pursue my career in artistry.
This is how I began to learn several techniques and different subjects known in the field of plastic arts, after several years of learning and with more knowledge, I wanted to make my own original Artwork and in the search of my own style that it would identify with my personality, In that context, I would like to show one of the most typical materials of my region that I use for my work, which are characterized by been one of the pillars of the economy and work tool for the families of my town such as the Bijao leaf (Calathea Lutea) and the Guava fruit . For my Artwork I use from the Guava fruit only the seeds ,These two materials had to go through a process of wash, cleaning and drying for durability and to guarantee the work, then I glue them to wooden sheets or canvases according to the taste of the client. finally, I paint on top of the Bijao leaves and also use the Guava seed to form different texture and shape to my Art work.
