Cementario de San Javier - Street Murals

Featured In Antioquia, Colombia

$ On Inquiry

Casa de Hip Hop Kolacho, an organization focused on keeping kids out of trouble through the teachings of hip hop, breakdancing and graffiti, asked me to paint a memorial for the victims of Operación Orión.

This mural sits at the front entrance of Cementario de San Javier in Comuna 13. Just 15 years ago, the neighborhood was considered one of the most dangerous in the area. The amount of change that has happened over the past decade is dumbfounding, but proves that positive change is a very reachable goal.

The blacks, whites and greys represent the dark history of the neighborhood. The upward pointing colored sections symbolize the escalators installed recently in the neighborhood that have made everything more accessible, allowing a brighter future to develop throughout Comuna 13. I come from a Chinese background, so have incorporated some of my culture into this memorial as well. Because the number 4 also means death in Chinese, there are 4 colored sections to represent putting to rest the past and to move on and look forward.

Wescover creator since 2017
LAMKAT is a multi-disciplinary artist specializing in abstract geometric designs in both large and small format media. Through the use of layering, precise geometry and the suggestion of visual movement, her work is greatly influenced by the depth and perspective needed to live a full and vibrant life.

At a young age, she discovered a deep respect and understanding of the power of perception. Kat expresses this understanding by utilizing items and information often designed to be useful or practical rather than attractive (such as hand tools and mathematics) and creating dynamic, abstract artworks with them. Her large format murals are created using utility tools and a bright and light perspective on creation.

Her work can be found internationally across the United States, Canada, Australia, Poland, and Colombia. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
