Lives and works in London, UK

Antonia Caicedo Holguín, is a Colombian painter based in London, UK. Antonia graduated with an MA from the Slade School of Fine Art in June 2023. Her work weaves together fragments of her Colombian heritage and her experiences in London. Antonia’s pieces blend moments of life, memory, and imagination, portraying loved ones, including friends and family, who are transformed and pushed into imagination and become fictional individuals, as literary characters who are often inspired from real people. Drawing inspiration from contemporary painters like Paula Rego and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, as well as old masters such as Manet and La Tour, Antonia’s forms come to life through oil paint and unconventional materials like coffee grounds, coffee dyes, natural Latin American pigments, and found objects.
