GLORIA MYLOTT´S WORLD OF PAPER


Gloria Mylott, born December 17, 1963 in Palm Beach, Florida.
At the age of 6 months she went to live to Colombia with her family and has lived there ever since.
She is a talented artist who foreshadows her creations leaving a personal and unique trade of her own.
Studied in Benedictine School where she graduated in 1982.
Her love for art drove her to study textile design, at Arts and Design School “Taller Cinco”. She rapidly discovered how to weave on looms with different materials like, virgin wool, leather, horse hair, copper strings, and natural fibres such as, cotton, fique, bark and seeds. She also learned to paint on Wood, oil canvas and in 1999 she discovered Papier Machier which simply fascinated her.
She realized that with this material she could create real sized sculptures and express through them different personalities of women. This authentic and genuine art with its own judgement reflects women’s feelings and their own way to assume life through their colourful and vivid clothing.
She moulds and shapes these women that become sculptures making each one of them unique.
Gloria, has participated in different Art Fairs with great success and her sculptures now a days are all over the world.
