The Art & Journey of Gloria Grajales
Her Passion for Photography
Gloria Grajales Sesana is a Colombian artist based in Miami. Through painting and photography, she explores the juxtaposition of light and shadow, the contrast in nature and architecture, and the richness of diverse communities.
Her work combines various print mediums and painting techniques, aiming to convey the lasting impact of a specific moment in time. She seeks to immerse viewers in the emotion and significance of each captured image.
The transparency of water, the dramatic contrast of light and shadow in architecture, the enchanting glow of changing seasons, and the life-giving energy of light—these elements are woven throughout Gloria’s artistic practice. As she travels and photographs the world, she continuously searches for the interplay of illumination in contemporary contexts.
A dedicated photographer, Gloria has spent years refining her craft, capturing the essence of different cultures and environments. Her compositions, enhanced by carefully selected print mediums, invite the viewer to experience the lingering beauty of each fleeting moment.
Her artistic travel photography is defined by high-contrast shadows and light, transforming ordinary scenes into dramatic visual narratives. This approach, often shot during golden or blue hours or under the intense midday sun, evokes deep emotion and enhances textures, shapes, and depth.
Whether framing architectural lines, natural landscapes, or human subjects, her photography harnesses the power of contrast to tell stories of culture, atmosphere, and environment. The bold separation of light and dark elevates the mundane into the extraordinary, capturing fleeting moments of beauty and mystery in every destination.
