Since 2015, I have been dedicated to fanzine education, leading workshops on their creation and typologies in Colombia and Peru. I have also led and participated in independent editorial projects, both collaborative and individual. I am particularly interested in using fanzines as a tool for documentation processes. I believe it is essential to document the local independent scene and create records of community actions, so that in the future there are references that help strengthen collective memory.


Below is a zine library featuring a compilation of fanzines I have contributed to.










 HERALDICA IVAFHAFIANA

IVAFHAFIAN HERALDRY

For over eleven years, I have been immersed in the study and design of heraldry. This discipline, which blends history, art, and symbolism, has always captivated me for the way it represents identities, lineages, and values through shapes and colors. Throughout this time, I have created numerous coats of arms, each with its own meaning and character, seeking to adapt heraldry to South America, to emerging forms of citizenship, and to a family-centered and inclusive approach. Below, I share a selection of my work, the result of years of dedication and passion for this art form.


------------------o--------------------
Coat of Arms 
 “Casa de la Cultura Corocora” Project

 A project to create a cultural center was launched in Villavicencio, Colombia. This was the first emblem I designed as part of that initiative.


------------------o--------------------

Ivafhafe Coat of Arms

This is the pseudonym that has accompanied me throughout my journey as an artist for eleven years.
It wasn’t a random choice; over time, this name became an extension of my creative voice—a space where I’ve been able to explore, make mistakes, and build. Today, after more than a decade, I felt it was time to give it a symbol—a shield to represent and protect it. Creating this emblem is my way of honoring everything I’ve lived under this name: the search, the struggles, the artworks, the unanswered questions, and the answers that came with time.

This shield is not just a design; it’s a statement of permanence. A mark that reminds me why I began and pushes me to keep creating.

This was an artistic pseudonym I used many years ago.

FAMLIA HERNÁNDEZ ESPITIA (FHE)

dfgsdfg
estandarte ivafhafe y estandarte FHE
La familia Hernández-Espitia  alude al tema de representarse por ambos apellidos por eso se creó el acrónimo FHE. Una idea visionaria adaptada un tema mas igualitario y ajustado al los 20´s.

Los colores simbolicos de la familia impera el color amarillo, destacando dicho color como color representantivo. 


De igual manera todo este tema visual se crea a partir del artista Ivafhafe y luego se crean modificaciones a partir de las peticiones de la familia FHE.

Al punto de la lectura de esta sección se sigue construyendo de manera mancomunada todas esta simbologia.

SACRED ART

In Colombia, under the guidance of Maestro Venegas, a renowned plastic artist, I have had the invaluable opportunity to immerse myself in sacred art—a field that intertwines tradition, spirituality, and artistic technique. Thanks to his mentorship and his focus on the intricate details that make this type of art unique, I have been fortunate to become part of a highly dedicated artistic team. Together, we have worked on creating pieces specifically designed for churches in various municipalities across the country, contributing to the enrichment of their cultural heritage and conveying messages that deeply resonate within their communities.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

In the different art classes that I have taught, I have always enjoyed exploring new spaces that help to address social issues. Art should be a tool to bring society together. While the student's artistic process is important, we should not focus solely on training them as artists. Instead, we should help them understand their role in society and encourage their ability to have a positive impact on it. We must encourage them to investigate and learn more about their community, as well as to create new stories that contribute to improving their environment.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✧🦌✧━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CÓMO ENSEÑO

Desde las diferentes clases de arte que he dictado, siempre me ha gustado explorar nuevos espacios que ayuden a resolver problemáticas sociales. El arte debe ser una herramienta para unir a la sociedad. Si bien el proceso del estudiante es importante, no debemos enfocarnos únicamente en formar artistas, sino en ayudarles a comprender su rol en la sociedad y fomentar su capacidad para generar un impacto positivo en ella. Debemos incentivarlos a investigar y descubrir más sobre su territorio, así como también a crear nuevas historias que contribuyan a mejorar su entorno.

 MURALS & STREET ART

Hi there! I've been painting murals since 2017, and since 2020 I've also been teaching a free muralism workshop in Cajicá. My main focus when painting murals is to have a positive impact on the communities where I work.


Murals can be a powerful tool for raising awareness about social issues, beautifying public spaces, and bringing people together in a community. Painting murals can also be a way to empower people and give them a voice to express their ideas and feelings.


I'm excited to continue exploring how I can use my art to have a positive impact on the communities where I work. I love involving the community in the creation of my murals and asking for their ideas and opinions on what they would like to see. I also like to focus on topics that are important to the community, such as inclusion, diversity, and equality.


I'm passionate about painting murals and making a positive difference in the world, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my skills and knowledge with others through my teaching.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi, I'm a photographer with a diverse skillset that includes product photography, portrait photography, and artistic photography. I have a keen eye for detail and a passion for capturing visually striking images that resonate with viewers.


In my work as a product photographer, I excel at showcasing products in their best light. I understand the importance of lighting, composition, and perspective to create images that are visually appealing and communicate the product's features and benefits effectively.


As a portrait photographer, I have a talent for putting my subjects at ease and capturing their unique personality and essence. I use lighting, backgrounds, and props to create a specific mood or look in the final image.


When it comes to artistic photography, I let my creativity run wild. I have a unique vision and style that sets me apart from other photographers. Whether I'm capturing a landscape, a still life, or a portrait, my images are always thought-provoking, emotive, and visually stunning.


Overall, I'm a skilled and versatile photographer who can produce high-quality images across a range of styles and subjects. My passion for photography and dedication to my craft is evident in every image I create.

DECLARACIÓN DE ARTISTA 2025

Combinando la comedia y el territorio, se crea el sarcasmo. Cuando surge el sarcasmo, se produce la “ironía expresiva". Así nace mi obra. En el momento que la creación artística juega con el territorio en el que habita, esta muta en un himno sarcástico, resultado efímero del instante y del lugar. Se convierte en una cápsula de tiempo que de forma burlona expone una narrativa propia.

Mi proceso artístico da importancia  a la responsabilidad social de la creación artística de la imagen. 










ARTIST STATEMENT  2024

By combining comedy and territory, sarcasm is created. When sarcasm emerges, 'expressive irony' takes place. That's how my artwork is born. When artistic creation plays with the territory it inhabits, it transforms into a sarcastic anthem—an ephemeral result of the moment and place. It becomes a time capsule that, in a mocking manner, exposes its own narrative.
My artistic process emphasizes the social responsibility of creating visual art.

ARTIST STATEMENT  2023

Combinando la comedia y el territorio, se crea el sarcasmo. Cuando surge el sarcasmo, se produce la “ironía expresiva". Así nace mi obra. En el momento que la creación artística juega con el territorio en el que habita, esta muta en un himno sarcástico, resultado efímero del instante y del lugar. Se convierte en una cápsula de tiempo que de forma burlona expone una narrativa propia.


ARTIST STATEMENT 2017-2022

Cuando se unen la comedia y el territorio, se crea el sarcasmo, cuando se crea el sarcasmo, se crea la “ironía expresiva”, así nace mi obra. El empleo de la técnica toma un segundo plano, lo que importa es la expresividad y de igual manera la abstracción de cualquier imagen figurativa, así cada pieza es una insinuación, una invitación. Cuando la creación artística juega con el territorio que habita, se vuelve un sarcasmo, un resultado efímero del momento, del lugar, una cápsula de tiempo que burlonamente expone una narrativa propia y entonces dicha obra, todavía con ansías de nacer en este plano físico es materializada en: pintura,escultura,instación,ensamblaje,fotografía o dibujo.
