About Javier Guerrero Meza

A trajectory shaped by social militancy, life in Brazil since 1989 and a sustained commitment to mosaic as an artistic, pedagogical and human language.

An Andean man in Brazil

My name is Javier Guerrero Meza. I have been a social militant since I was 14 and I have lived in Brazil since 1989.

I have dedicated myself to mosaic for 26 years and, for the last 19 years, exclusively to this language.

I am an Andean man. For me, being Andean means a deep love for the land; it means the intense colors of the mountain range that appear in my work; it means loyalty to my ideological principles and to the friends and comrades with whom I share struggle, dreams and hope.

In recent years, that same loyalty also became devotion: devotion to mosaic. In mosaic I found my way of telling the world what I think and what I feel.
