Hi Everyone,
I live in Bogota and I'm looking for good Colombian paintings so I can bring them home to my family for Christmas. I'd like something that is affordable and that I can only find in Colombia. Do you have any ideas where to go or look? I appreciate your help.

rcmkensington says on Nov 16, 2007, 16:00: Don't know anyone in Bogota, but a guy I know in Cartagena sells oil (and watercolor) palntings of Cartagena, boats, the seaport, the streets, etc. He's a salesman and works with different artists. Although he can show you different paintings, as can others, what distinguishes him is 1) tell him what you want or give him a photo and he'll arrange to have it painted in the size and medium (oil or watercolor) you want; 2) he'll arrange to have the painting framed for you (much much cheaper than in the US) and 3) he'll wrap the painting(s) well (even the ones with glass) so you can ship in the airline baggage compartment or as cargo. Prices vary from $75,000K pesos for a smaller painting to $250K-350K for a 2 1/2 ' x 4 ' painting. He can get you cheaper stuff, of course, but doesn't sound like that's what you want. Anyway, the guy's name is Reynel Correa. His cell phone is 310 617 1377.
