Macías, a Cali-born artist with a 30+ year career spanning plastic arts, advertising, and entrepreneurship, founded The roots Path in 2019.The brand specializes in limited-edition objects across decoration, fashion, jewelry, and other categories, all deeply rooted in his artistic vision. “I am excited to know that my works will be in a place as special as NC Design,” Macías told Forbes. “It is indeed a unique space, which I have not seen in any other country.”
the Roots Path distinguishes itself by blending art and poetry, aiming to inspire and break down barriers between artistic disciplines.The collection features not only design pieces but also original works of art, including paintings and sculptures.
Macías’s journey has taken him from Colombia to Brazil, New York, and his current base in Los Angeles. Throughout his career, he has garnered international recognition as a publicist, winning prestigious industry awards, and as an artist, exhibiting in galleries and museums across Latin America, the United states, and Europe.
His creations are known for thier imaginative and evocative qualities. Notable pieces include a series of wooden suitcases depicting invented destinations, complete with maps and fabricated memories – places the artist “really lived” in his imagination – and sculptures of hands with fingers transforming into branches. These pieces exemplify The Roots Path’s commitment to pushing creative boundaries.
The arrival of The Roots Path in Bogotá coincides with growing interest in Colombia as a hub for design and innovation. The country’s vibrant artistic community and increasing international attention make it a natural fit for Macías’s unique aesthetic.
