El CARI

DANIEL PUERTA

I am Daniel Puerta or better known as «El Cari». I am a designer, illustrator and plastic artist from the Medellin city, Colombia. From an early age I had a marked inclination for modern art. I studied plastic arts and design at the University of Antioquia and Bellas Artes in my hometown. I have characterized myself by my modern style, popart, comics and caricatures, achieving collaborations with different advertising agencies and important brands such as RedBull, Bancolombia, Ecopetrol, EPM and the Government of Antioquia, among others. During the last years I have strengthened my pictorial plastic work, presenting my work in different exhibitions in several cities of Colombia and New York city. I currently work as a freelancer in my own studio as well as entering the dazzling era of digital art, which leads me to create PARALELO, my first project of collectible NFT art pieces on the Ethereum Blockchain.
