About me

Gabriel Kalach was born and raised in Cali, Colombia, one of the most beautiful countries of South America.

At an early stage Gabriel instinctively embraced the arts in a truly passionate manner, by translating his everyday live and experiences into pictorial representations the accurately evoked factual life.

Being 9 years old he was awarded in recognition for his aesthetical and architectural representation of a landscape he created. It soon was clear that it would be wise to pursue a path were arts were an integral part of his life.

For more than a decade, Gabriel was a member of a selected group of very young talented artists who attended The Martenot Academy for the Arts in Colombia.

Later in life, he moved to the capital city of Colombia - Bogota, in order to pursue higher goals. After attending The Tadeo University and completing a 5-year Graphics and Arts Career, never stopped studying and researching. Something he aptly calls the University of Life.

In 1999 Gabriel decided to take his talents and entrepreneurial spirit to the U.S.

The Colombian designer was granted a talent-based O-1 Visa and then a talent-based Green Card. Knowing that only a certain number of Talent Visa's are issued per year, he was determined to make his mark and remain in the U.S.

He is continuously evolving, growing and developing new ideas every day. As an autodidact who seeks to excel in subjects outside the mainstream of conventional education, his innate curiosity and love for research has evolved, grown and proven to be an asset.

Gabriel designs and artistic creations has been recognized, published and awarded numerous times in the past decade. While keeping a low profile, he has worked with top clients nationally and internationally.

Gabriel sees his future as an ever-changing yet intriguing piece of art. Never dull or still, always evolving and forging new and captivating ways to attract, inform, surprise and communicate to the world.
