Daniel Otero Torres, artist

The Art of Social Change

For our 11th episode we conversed with Colombian artist Daniel Otero Torres. During the interview, Otero Torres talked to us about his techniques and inspirations. From his incredibly realistic hand-drawn portraits to his large-scale hydraulic installations, each of his works reveals surprising references from Otero Torres’ experiences as an artist.
We talked about the displaced bird species that has now accidentally inhabited Paris for 100 years, about the baffling drinking-water shortage in one of the most water-abundant regions of the amazon rainforest, and we even explored the Otero-Torres’ personal road to becoming the artist he is today.
