Francisco Mejía Guinand

Francisco Mejía-Guinand (Bogotá, 1964) is a born painter, he could not avoid it. His childhood visits to the studio of his father, an amateur painter, and the occasions when his mother led him by the hand through the world’s great museums may have been responsible for his early interest in art, but his decision to become a full-time painter only came after a long struggle. After studying architecture, he worked as a university professor and in architectural restoration, an experience which taught him what he already knew: that the only thing he wanted to do in life was to paint.
