Esteban Patino

Esteban Patino is an artist born in Medellín, Colombia, who now works largely in Atlanta, Georgia. He works across sculpture, collage, and painting. His practice centers on language, perception, and symbols. He has built a 24-character symbolic alphabet from six rotated shapes, which he uses to make speech bubbles, palindromes, and metaphors. His collages, sculptures, and paintings are distinct but connected through this inquiry. He was listed as a GlogauAIR resident in late 2026, where he planned to make a body of work on universal symbols.
