Ana María Tamayo participated in "Lo que los ojos no ven", a group exhibition at Espacio En Blanco in Bogotá, curated by Inés Elvira Morales. The show brought together several contemporary artists to explore themes of perception and what lies beyond the visible.
In this context, Tamayo's contribution likely aligned with her ongoing investigation into internal experience, abstract form, and the emotional resonance of imagery. Her work, often characterized by layered color, gestural movement, and expressive abstraction, resonates with the exhibition's thematic interest in what lies beneath immediate perception. Through her visual language, Tamayo invites viewers to look inward as much as outward, connecting unseen emotional states with subtle formal shifts in color and texture.
Ana María Tamayo participated in the International Contemporary Art Fair in Lyon, a European platform associated with art3f, known for its dynamic and accessible approach to contemporary art. Represented by Galería de Arte Gaudí, Tamayo presented her work from June 10-12 at La Halle Tony Garnier in Lyon, France.
Her participation positioned her practice within an international contemporary dialogue, expanding her presence beyond Latin America and engaging a European audience. At the fair, Tamayo's work reflected her signature exploration of transformation, fluidity, and emotional depth. Through expressive abstraction, vibrant color fields, and layered gestures, her paintings evoke inner landscapes shaped by resilience and constant movement.
Being part of this international art fair reinforced Tamayo's growing global trajectory and highlighted the universality of her visual language — one that bridges personal introspection with collective experience through contemporary abstraction.
Ana Tamayo presents a deeply introspective body of work that explores femininity, emotional inheritance, and the silent strength carried by women across generations. Through the symbolic use of alabaster, silk, gold threads, and light, her pieces reflect on the cultural expectations placed upon women and the emotional weight they often bear for their families and communities.
Her work transforms the concept of the “rock” into a metaphor for feminine resilience — not as rigidity, but as endurance, vulnerability, and transformation. By combining delicate materials with solid stone and subtle illumination, Tamayo creates intimate compositions that invite reflection on identity, ancestral patterns, and the sacred nature of contained strength.
Her contribution to the exhibition becomes a poetic dialogue between fragility and power, tradition and transformation, offering viewers a contemplative space to reconsider the meaning of feminine foundation and self-worth.

This exhibition positions her within an international context that honors the power and diversity of women in the arts.
As part of Abstractos Femeninos, presented at Galería Otros 360° in Bogotá, Ana María Tamayo showcases a series of abstract paintings that explore feminine energy through movement, color, and layered gesture. The exhibition brings together six women artists working within contemporary abstraction, highlighting diverse visual languages grounded in emotional expression and material exploration.
Tamayo's contribution reflects her ongoing interest in fluidity, transformation, and inner landscapes. Through dynamic brushwork and richly layered surfaces, her paintings evoke both atmospheric depth and emotional resonance. Her abstract compositions suggest motion and resilience, capturing the invisible forces that shape identity and experience.
Within the context of Abstractos Femeninos, Tamayo's work stands as a visual meditation on feminine strength, expansive, intuitive, and constantly evolving, reinforcing abstraction as a powerful language of personal and collective expression.
Ana Tamayo is an artist whose work is deeply nourished by the profound connection between nature and human experience. Her artistic approach stems from a constant concern for environmental conservation, leading her to explore the concept of “flow” in multiple dimensions. For Ana, flow is not only a physical phenomenon, such as the movement of liquids or gases, but also a metaphor for life itself.
Through her art, Ana invites the viewer to reflect on how natural forces, like rain seeping into the earth or wind dancing through the atmosphere, can parallel our own lived experiences. Each piece stands as a testament to her acceptance of inevitable change and her surrender to it, always guided by a critical perspective that seeks to bring new meaning to what is in constant transformation.
In this collection, Ana Tamayo offers a poetic vision of flow, where every stroke and color becomes a visual representation of the serenity and maturity that arise from embracing life's varying intensities and durations. Her art not only celebrates the beauty of the natural world, but also reminds us of the importance of living in harmony with it.
Ana María Tamayo participated in the 3rd Edition of Arte Quito - Feria de Artes Plásticas y Visuales, held from August 15-18 at the Centro de Convenciones Metropolitano de Quito, Ecuador.

Tamayo's presence in this fair reinforced her growinginternational trajectory and expanded her reach within the Latin American art circuit.
Her exhibited works reflected her signature abstract language — layered textures, gestural movement, and atmospheric color fields that explore transformation, emotional depth, and inner landscapes. Through expressive abstraction, Tamayo continues to investigate the fluid dialogue between resilience, identity, and environment, positioning her work within a broader contemporary discourse.
Participating in Arte Quito 2024 marked another significant milestone in Tamayo's expanding international exhibition history, strengthening her presence beyond Colombia and contributing to her visibility in the Andean art scene.
Ana María Tamayo presented AMA-ZONE, a solo exhibition inspired by the natural and cultural richness of Colombia and the Amazon rainforest. The project reflects years of artistic research centered on nature as both subject and conceptual framework.
In this exhibition, Tamayo draws inspiration from the legacy of German scientist Alexander von Humboldt, whose explorations of Latin America emphasized the interconnectedness of cosystems. Echoing this perspective, Tamayo approaches the universe as a unified system, where sky, earth, and subsoil coexist as shared ground.
Through layered compositions and organic visual structures, AMA-ZONE proposes a new symbolic territory: Ama (care, love) and Zone (personal and collective space). The exhibition invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with nature, positioning care, awareness, and interconnection as central themes.
With this body of work, Tamayo reinforces her ongoing artistic inquiry into environmental consciousness, transformation, and the invisible networks that connect humanity with the natural world.
