Clara Elena Restrepo was born in Medellín, Colombia. She studied Social Communication and lived abroad for 14 years. Upon returning to Colombia, she decided to change her life and, following her artistic sensibility, she began experimenting with natural materials and transforming existing objects. The idea was born from being able to look at the country from the outside with all its richness of colors, textures and natural materials, which allowed her to see, with new eyes, objects that seemed everyday.
