Mauricio Murillo is a Colombian and Honduran American photographer whose work explores the intersections of identity, heritage, and the contemporary diasporic experience. As the son of immigrant parents, Murillo’s upbringing profoundly shapes his visual narrative, instilling in him a deep reverence for the stories of resilience, adaptation, and cultural fusion that define the immigrant journey.
This personal exploration is most powerfully realized in his ongoing portraits of his grandmother, affectionately known as Nana. Through tender, evocative imagery of Nana, Murillo transforms the private spaces of family life into universal reflections on aging, memory, and playfulness.
