About Javier Guerrero Meza
A trajectory shaped by social militancy, life in Brazil since 1989 and a sustained commitment to mosaic as an artistic, pedagogical and human language.
An Andean man in Brazil
My name is Javier Guerrero Meza. I have been a social militant since I was 14 and I have lived in Brazil since 1989.
I have dedicated myself to mosaic for 26 years and, for the last 19 years, exclusively to this language.
I was born in Riobamba, Ecuador, and I also carry a visual lineage: I am the grandson of José Enrique Guerrero, known in Quito as El pintor de Quito.
I am an Andean man. For me, being Andean means a deep love for the land; it means the intense colors of the mountain range that appear in my work; it means loyalty to my ideological principles and to the friends and comrades with whom I share struggle, dreams and hope.
In recent years, that same loyalty also became devotion: devotion to mosaic. In mosaic I found my way of telling the world what I think and what I feel.
