About Gleo

Nathalia Gallego (Bogotá, Colombia, 1990) is a visual artist and painter, trained in Visual Arts at the Universidad del Valle. In the public sphere, she is known as GLEO, with over a decade of experience as a muralist.

Her paintings explore what remains in the body and find in the intimate a territory of introspection, where color, symbol, and matter are transformed into a language of memory. Her silent atmospheres, inhabited by portraits, evoke vital memories and liminal experiences, in an attempt to give form to what still vibrates within the body.

Her work is part of the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Bogotá, the STRAAT Museum in Amsterdam, and the Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita, as well as public art collections in Cali, Valencia, Montreal, and Wichita. In 2021, she received the Abbey Mural Award from the National Academy of Design in New York and has participated in numerous international exhibitions.

In 2022 she was invited by the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague, Netherlands, to reinterpret one of the masterpieces in the collection as a large-scale mural, for the celebration of its 200th anniversary.
