Sobre el Artista

Javier Bohorquez is a photographer and a contemporary new media artist based in New York, NY and West Palm Beach, FL. His work is being recognized under Jabo (Javier Bohorquez). The beauty of nature has inspired his love for digital photography. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion. The foundation of his digital artwork is based upon his photographs. His creative process involves layers of imagination that create powerful compositions where color plays a dominant role. For Jabo, color is a strong driving force that comes from his Latin roots. Experimenting has been his biggest teacher! He is amazed at how things do not always seem what they look like… “There is a surprise factor that we should always keep in mind”, he says. His work has been exhibited in galleries in New York City, The Hamptons, NY, Minneapolis, MN and South Florida. Originally from Colombia, Javier earned a Bachelor of Science in Animal Nutrition and Genetics in 1996 and dedicated his efforts to work with pure bred dogs for 12 years. He relocated to New York City in June 2001 from Colombia. His passion for nature and design motivated him to go back to school for the Landscape Architecture program at The City College of New York where he completed his studies in 2006. He worked for various Landscape Architecture firms in New York City, The Hamptons, NY and Palm Beach, FL.
