Background Joner
ROJANO was born in 1965 in Valledupar,
Colombia close to the Colombian Caribbean coast. From an early age
he was attracted to the arts though in that period and region it wasn't
so easy to find the appropriate training in such a region of his
native Colombia, despite its fame for cultivating one of Spain and
Colombia's most recognized artistic talents, Alejandro
Obregón. However, Joner kept his dream alive until he could
make it to one of Colombia's best-known art school's, the
University of Fine Arts in Cartagena situated in Colombia's beautiful historic walled city now designated as a world cultural
heritage site.

Studies
After completing his studies he moved back to
Valledupar and took a position as a lecturer in art at the town's
fine arts school. Working there he developed his art, focusing on
abstract expressionism, perhaps as a natural extension to the work
and themes which were originally explored by the renowned German
painter Guillermo
Wiedemann while living and working in Colombia and who
developed his work on the Colombian coast.
Exhibitions
Joner's work quickly received a strong and
positive reception by the Colombian critics and national press and
it was shown at the 1995 exhibition in the Museum
Of Modern Art, Cartagena, Colombia. In this same year, the Bank
of the Republic of Colombia, which is a strong supporter of
the arts in Colombia, chose two of his works to be represented in
their catalogue of selected artists. Since then his talents have
developed and grown and he has presented his work at many local,
national and international exhibitions and galleries.
Present Work Joner
has just completed and published his first book
which presents his most recent artworks to a wider
international audience.

"Joner Rojano - Biography"

TESTIMONIALS
Blue for rain, green for fluorescence.
"Outdoors" desert yellow and the intensity of the summer light.
That is the memory of the atmosphere that
surrounded childhood.
It is the past recovered from the
perspective of the city, from ostracism. It is the memory that recreates
the synopsis of an instant within which fits an epoch, a whole
countryside, always repeated, always different.
And the image hurts.
Lines that were strong disappear like
those moments that stopped being exact. Images of mountains, lands,
nostalgia. The desperation of capturing a moment, of returning to an
instant that was intensely lived.
It is the internal fight of the color
that wants to hide what is shows, it is the technique allowing the eye to
see that which it should not, without stopping it.
It is opening your heart and placing upon
it an opaque glass to allow the color to reconstruct the memory, season by
season.
HENRY LAGUADO (Art Critic)
