Miguel Angel Betancur is a collage artist and painter from the city of Medellín, Colombia, with a "garrapatero" way of life, which consists of the determination to remove the ticks from life (everything that remains). His construction of objects through collage makes the search for the senses more exhaustive and closer to something palpable, in order to transfer this search to the experiences of the context and the experiences of the "garrapatero" life.
