About the Artist
Federico Herrero (born 1978) is a distinguished Costa Rican artist whose practice is primarily centered on abstract painting and significant site-specific public art installations. Known for his distinctive use of vibrant color and fluid, organic forms, Herrero's work often bridges the gap between traditional canvas painting and immersive environmental art. He draws inspiration from the tropical landscape and urban fabric of his native Costa Rica, transforming these elements into dynamic, non-representational compositions. His monumental murals and interventions within cityscapes redefine the experience of public space, inviting a playful and intuitive engagement with color and form.
