BEATRIZ HENAO

Port Austin, MI

Beatriz Henao, Colombian by birth, resides with her husband in Port Austin, Michigan where she paints full time and teaches oil painting.Her interest in art began at age seven. After graduating from high school she became a student of Art and Design, attending Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Medellín, Colombia; Ceramic and Art History, attending Academia Superior de Arte, Medellín, Colombia; and Textile Print, attending Atelier Litza Bain, París, France.

She has over seven years of Art Education acquired in South America and Europe. She’s also studied with David Manzur who is one of the most renowned Colombian artists in recent history and Yuri Yokota at the Japanese Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia.

During some more than 30 years working as an artist in oil painting, I have developed a certain manner for my expression which is characterized as the Old Netherland Masters technique variation. It involves superimposing transparent layers of oil color over dark paint bases thus creating different effects in order to produce multidimensional illusions. Also, there are some psychological aspects transmitted in all my work.
