Concept
Hernán Ardila’s artwork is composed of non-figurative pieces; drawings and canvases characterised by the pre-eminence of form and line, fragmented composition and bordered sections of strong colours. His work not only focuses on the spatial values of the form, but also the tempo within repetition and variation of line, colour and materials. Ardila’s artwork is largely regarded as an installation of diverse but related objects that activate the space with color and rhythm.

Biography
