Jhomar Loaiza

Jhomar Loaiza transforms spaces with art.

Born in Coro, Falcón, Venezuela in 1977, Jhomar Loaiza has had a passion for art from an early age. Early on, he was inspired by his parents' artistic skills and was taught his first painting techniques by Ángel Sánchez, an artist from La Vela. He later received valuable advice from renowned artists such as Emilio Peniche, Osterman Velásquez, Alirio Sánchez and Nicasio Duno. Although he studied briefly at the Tito Salas School of Plastic Arts in 1996, he considers himself self-taught.

Loaiza has won several art awards, including first prize at the I Salon of Novice Artists in 2004 and first prize at the Regional Salon Cacique Bacoa in 2011. In 2016, he again won first prize at the XVII Salón Churugura. He has also represented Venezuela in international exhibitions in Mexico, Spain and in Curacao.

Since 2018, he has been living and working in Curacao, where he has realized an impressive number of murals. His works adorn the streets of Punda and Otrobanda, including those of the well-known Kaya Kaya Street Party project. He has also left his artistic signature in Barber and at Sentro Deportivo Kòrsou (SDK). His most recent creation is a vibrant mural at the RIF stadium. He also plays an important role in the Colores del Caribe project, in which he translates Curacao's culture and diversity into art.

With his colorful and expressive style, Loaiza not only transforms outdated walls, but also the way people experience their surroundings. His art encourages discovery, connects communities and contributes to the cultural identity of the island.
