An award-winning Colombian-American multidisciplinary poet and artist, Ana Maria Caballero’s work explores the topics of motherhood and the notion of sacrifice as a virtue, traditions, and how biology delimits societal and cultural rites.
Her poetry and artistry has been recognized worldwide through several accolades including Colombia’s José Manuel Arango National Poetry Prize for her first book “Entre domingo y domingo”. In 2023, her first nonfiction manuscript was awarded the International Beverly Prize while Mammal, her most recent manuscript, was awarded the 2022 Steel Toe Books Award in Poetry.
A pioneer in Web3 and a leading figure in digital poetry, she was the first living artist to sell a digital poem (with Sotheby’s). She’s also the co-founder of the digital poetry gallery the VerseVERSE, which highlights artworks at the intersection of blockchain technology and poetry.
Her artworks have been exhibited across the world including at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Carmen Thyssen Museum in Málaga, the Wroclaw Contemporary Museum, the Museo de Arte Miguel Urrutia in Colombia, and the New World Center in Miami.
