Umaña
Rafael Alfonso Umaña Mendez (
1908 -
November 20,
1994), known to most as Umaña, created
art for seven decades in
New York,
France,
Spain,
Florida, and
Virginia, mastering numerous media including textiles; sculpture in marble, silver, and iron; painting and drawings in oil, watercolor, pencil, silver- and goldpoint; printmaking; and fine art book illustration. Born in
Bogotá,
Colombia to a family of artisans, his father was an accomplished metal-worker and iron forger whose work was commissioned by churches, the government, and other wealthy clients. Both of Umaña’s parents died during his teens but left him an inheritance allowing him to continue his education. In 1925 at the age of 17 Umaña traveled to
Madrid to study at the Academia San Fernando de Bellas Artes and the Royal Tapestry Factories. He remained there until the outbreak of the
Spanish Civil War in
1936.
