Isabel Zuluaga Mesa is a Colombian artist, best known as Zumbambico. She has focused her art on her experience as a woman born and raised in a society where both beauty and behavioral standards are imposed on women on a daily basis. Zumbambico thinks of her work as the possibility of creating her own emancipated territory; a place to break free from external pressures and just be, connected to her body and emotions. She has exhibited her work in Bogotá, Barcelona, Mexico City, Porto, New York, Houston, Rio de Janeiro, and Maastricht, where she had her first solo show Inner Landscapes (2019). She is also author of Un circo de bajo del brazo, a children’s book published in 2023.
