I am absolutely ecstatic to be part of Solita Mishaan collection. As a Colombian artist that lives and works in Chicago, it is an honor to be recognized by by her. Solita Mishaan saw my embroidery work during ArtBo 2014. She visited the exhibition El cambio de todo lo que permanence, curated by Jaime Cerón, for the Artecámara division in ArtBO 2014 in Bogota, Colombia.
Solita Mishaan is a fundamental figure in contemporary Latin American Art. As a collector she has invested in Colombian art for many years, and she is the director of the non-profit Fundación MISOL para las Artes in Bogotá. Most recently she won the first prize, 1mer Premio Iberoamericano de Mecenazgo, from the Wealth Advisory Services for the Arts during the art fair ARCO Madrid. In addition, as described in the Artsy website, she is a Member of Latin American and Caribbean Fund, MOMA; trustee of Miami Art Museum (MAM); founding member of the acquisitions committee of Latin American art at Tate London; International Friend of Museo Del Prado, Madrid.
