collaborator Carolina Olaya Manzanera

Carolina Olaya Manzanera was born in Bogota, Colombia. She studied Journalism and Audiovisual Communication in Madrid. She currently studies Fine Art at UCA Canterbury, with emphasis in Painting. A concern for home, national and international catastrophe has led her to an exploration of images of drama and survival through the banal gesture of painting. Her work reflects a manifestation of the insignificance and impotence of a man-made world, when it finds itself confronted by Nature’s impetus. A photograph taken after the 2011 Japan Earthquake inspired this piece.
