Suárez Londoño’s meticulous drawings encompass a vast array of motives such as portraits and plants – an interest stemming from his biology studies – but also geometric figures, landscapes, animals, tools, abstract patterns, nudes, boats and miscellaneous objects. Their eclecticism reflects an encyclopaedic knowledge the artist slowly collected throughout an introspective working process.

A notepad, a marker and a book are three elements at the core of Suárez Londoño’s creative process – a strategy he adopted in the mid 1990s whilst staying in Florida, US, reading Brian Eno’s book A Year with Swollen Appendices. Suárez Londoño started to fill the notepad with sketches based on the book, and, from then on, his works turned into a diaristic recording of his readings and daily occupations – a graphic autobiography.

Suárez Londoño’s works are included in major collections worldwide, including the Colección de Arte del Banco de la República, Bogotá; MOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Albertina Museum, Vienna; and MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, amongst others. He participated in the 24th and 32nd São Paulo Biennial (1998 and 2004) and the 55th Venice Biennale (2013).
