Bio
Alicia Viteri (Pasto, Colombia, 1946) is a visual artist whose work has been key in the development of contemporary art in Panama. Trained at the University of Los Andes, she settled in Panama in 1972, where she promoted printmaking as an expressive and academic medium. She was a pioneer in installations and digital art, standing out with Espacios Pictóricos (1983) and Memoria Digital (2007), which won an award in New York. Her practice spans painting, assemblage, and mixed media, with works exhibited in both the Americas and Europe. In 2017, her mural was permanently installed at the Taminango Museum, solidifying her visual and investigative legacy.
Statement
“I was once a creature—clumsy, naive, sensitive—
in a process of pleasure and pain,
learning to see beyond borders.
Now people nourish it,
and it no longer carries a cage in its soul.”
