Carlos Rojas (Albán 1933 – Bogotá 1997) is one of the key figures in the development of Abstract Art in Colombia and in Latin America in general. Through drawing, painting, collage and sculpture, he explored the possibilities of constructing and deconstructing spaces, from a conceptual and technical perspective. It is impossible to classify Rojas under a single style, since his production oscillated between different languages that were the result of a constant reflection on the very nature of the artistic exercise. He won first place in the Salón Nacional de Artistas in 1965, 1969, and 1973. His work is part of the collections of the Banco de la República de Colombia (Bogotá, Colombia), the Museum of Modern Art in New York – MoMA, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston (Houston, USA), the Museo de Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá, Colombia), among others.
