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. A Guilloume
canvas is a dreamscape of memory and emotion where angles
observe, as human forms move gracefully through the most
mundane of tasks.

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.
Guilloume's work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions
in Los Angeles, Scottsdale, Sedona, Sante Fe, and Albuquerque,
as well as in his native Colombia.
"When I look at a
person, I see beyond the persona and the temporary attributes
of age, beauty and style. It is there that I find the circles
and the roundish forms that define the very essence of the
human figure."
