FEATURED ARTIST: PLANTA MUISCA
Artwork: "Jungle Love"
"My artistic work is the result of my experiences living and working in various parts of Latin America. The rich and vibrant cultures of the places I’ve visited have been my main inspiration to create and share my artistic vision with others. As a Canadian-Colombian artist is empowering for me to paint around the themes of culture, nature and identity enriching Canadian multiculturalism. Most of my murals are found in Canada and Colombia, my wish is to continue painting across Canada and the world."
