Miami, FL — In a city that has become a hub for Latin American art in the United States, Colombian sculptor Carlos Rafael Arandia Moreno presents a body of work that resonates with both local and international audiences. With more than three decades of artistic trajectory, Arandia has established himself as a key figure in contemporary sculpture, weaving together influences from Europe and Latin America.
Human Fragility as Artistic Core
Arandia’s sculptures delve into the fragility of the human condition, a theme that defines his creative universe. The female figure stands at the center of his work, celebrated as a symbol of resilience, memory, and vitality.

European Influences and Minimalism
Educated in Bogotá at the Pittsburg Academy and the Universidad Francisco José de Caldas, Arandia expanded his career internationally, exhibiting in Austria (Vienna), Poland, Switzerland, and Chile. His artistic language is deeply influenced by the European sculptural tradition, particularly the minimalist approach of Henry Moore, whose organic forms and volumetric voids echo in Arandia’s creations.
Miami as a Cultural Platform
In Miami, his work finds a natural home within private collections and cultural spaces that celebrate diversity and innovation. Local curators emphasize his ability to build bridges between European minimalism and Latin American sensibility. “Arandia transforms sculpture into a mirror of humanity, transcending borders and geographies,” noted one curator from the Wynwood art district.
