Leticia, Amazonas, Colombia, 1983

Andrés Fabián Domínguez Urrea is an artist born in Leticia, Amazonas, Colombia, in 1983. His practice experiments with media and materials of Amazonian origin, such as yanchama or mambe, as well as with ecologically oriented works that use organic and recycled materials. He works actively on cultural and collective projects alongside communities in different regions of Colombia and participates in associations within the artistic sector of the Colombian Amazon.

Domínguez’s work frequently combines mythological elements derived from his experience in the Amazon and from his relationships with ancestral cultures. His practice explores drawing—particularly landscape and portraiture of the knowledge keepers with whom he has established close ties—and incorporates references to comics and representations of territory. These images are often created through the use of mambe (powdered coca leaf), which the artist blows onto the paper, leaving its mark through breath. His work addresses Amazonian ancestral knowledge and underscores its central role in caring for the territory and sustaining life on the planet.

His career highlights include his participation in the 15th Regional Art Salon, Del Orinoco–Amazonía (2015), and an artist residency at Popayork, Cauca (2018). Domínguez has collaborated with institutions such as the National University of Colombia, the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF), and the National Army. He has been awarded grants from the Ministry of Culture, including the National Stimulus Program in 2018. Since 2021, Domínguez has participated in group exhibitions in Bogotá, Boyacá, and Leticia. He represents the Department of Amazonas in Fine Arts and co-founded the independent art space Se Arrienda in Leticia with the Amazonas Association of Visual Artists.
