Maquiamelo, Picasso and Damien Hirst arrive at Art Palm Beach 2025

Art Palm Beach 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most important fairs of the year, highlighting both established artists and new talents.

Art Palm Beach, one of the most prestigious contemporary art fairs in the United States, returns this year from January 22 to 26, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, Florida.

Known for its focus on contemporary works by established and emerging artists, this edition promises to be one of the most outstanding, with the participation of important galleries from around the world and a selection of artists that include names such as Picasso, Damien Hirst and the Colombian Maquiamelo.

This 2025, the fair has decided to pay tribute to Latin American talent, choosing Maquiamelo's work as the main image of the fair. This is located on the imposing fence that welcomes attendees to the event, highlighting his art from the entrance of the Convention Center. This gesture not only reflects the growing international recognition of the Colombian artist, but also highlights the vital role that the Latin American art scene plays in the global panorama.

Maquiamelo, whose real name is Hugo Maquiamelo, is a prominent artist from Colombia who has captivated the world with his unique style. His work is known for fusing influences from contemporary art and Latin American tradition, creating visually powerful and emotionally evocative pieces. Winner of the XVIII Biennial of Santa Cruz de la Sierra Award in Bolivia, Maquiamelo is also an honorary member of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bogotá and an associate member of the National Sculpture Society (NSS) of the United States.

This artist has had a rising international career, with exhibitions in renowned museums such as the Museo de Las Américas in Puerto Rico, the Estación Mapocho in Chile and soon at the Pinacoteca Albertina di Torino in Italy. His presence at Art Palm Beach is a reflection of his consolidation in the global contemporary art circuit, and his work occupies a prominent place in the offering of the Rosenbaum Contemporary gallery, which represents him.
