Born in Colombia in 1965. Juan Mejia studied architecture between 1983 and 1988 and graduated from the UPB in his hometown of Medellin. His career thrives on countless trips and influences. The Colombian artist has studied in places like Vienna in Austria, notilbly studying both museology and architecture in Rotterdam.
