José Herazo-Osorio was born in Barranquilla, Colombia where he studied art and worked as a journalist and cartoonist for Colombian newspapers, such as El Espectador and El Heraldo. In 1969 he moved to Florida, USA, where he currently lives. He is an experienced traveler with great interest in art galleries and museums that he always visits during his trips. He is an acute observer of nature and human behavior that he absorbs to project in his art.

Herazo-Osorio has participated in juried art exhibits winning awards for the quality of his art. His paintings show the disintegration of human experiences through color and movement.

His art carries the bright colors and constant movement of forms from tropical lands that are the origin of his existence. His works have been shown in one-person and group exhibitions in Europe, United States of America, and Colombia, including Museo d’Arte di Chianciano Terme, Italy; Gagliardi Gallery, London, UK, Affordable Art Fair, London, UK, ArtServe Gallery, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, Coral Springs Museum of Arts, USA; Davie Historical Museum, USA; Salón de las Américas, Coral Gables, USA; Design Gallery of the Americas, Miami, USA; The Raymond F Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, West Palm Beach, USA; Centro Colombo-Americano, Barranquilla and Bogotá, Colombia; Galeria Colseguros, Bogota, Colombia, and many other art venues.
