About The Artist

Luz Patricia Restrepo is a Colombian fine artist specializing in realism through her signature oil and pastel mediums. Her artistic career began in 1993 in Armenia-Quindio, Colombia, and since then, she’s documented the beauty in her world through her canvas for over 30 years. 

Restrepo’s art is heavily inspired by life experiences and nature during her stay in Louisiana, Georgia, and Florida. The paintings are always hyper-realistic, picturesque, and very inviting. Such talent led her to receive multiple awards and earn features through different art societies like The Art Ambassador Group (FL), Southeastern Pastel Society, and the Fayetteville Society of Fine Arts (GA).

For three decades, she perfected her talent for realistic painting, but she continues to evolve in her art and remains involved with art academies. Patricia actively participates in artistic collaborations, exhibitions, showcases, and during gallery events, where she connects with all those who resonate with her art. Currently, she is a commissioned artist and is focused on expanding her audience and artistic knowledge.
