My name is Andrés Mazuera Cammaert, but my artistic name is MAZUE.

I spent 35 years of my life in the advertising business at multinational agencies in Latin America, most of them in the creative area, before being sent up the stairs into management positions, first as the leader of the Leo Burnett/Publicis Groupe operations in Guatemala, and as a final step in my ad. career, by being in charge of 7 companies as President C.E.O. of DDB Group in Colombia, my home country. 

I retired at the end of 2016 to devote myself part-time to developing my artistic proposal with the "Turn Good On & Bad Off!" series, among other initiatives.

As an advertising professional, I have always understood the power of a simple image with an appealing concept to communicate an idea effectively.  

I try to appeal to our constant desire or need to change wrong into good, graphically represented with a straightforward and easily recognizable household item: a blown-up colorful retro/vintage switch, which is visually intriguing.

"I Am The Master Of My Domains!"

I am a one-person endeavor, and I enjoy it very much. Despite the always-present company of my family, I plan, create, and produce everything I want to build. I made this web page and constantly updated it. I handle my social media. I buy supplies and paints, take care of my tools, organize photo shoots, transport my pieces, send shipments abroad to buyers, etc. 

I do everything; I have no staff at all. As the saying goes, "I'm the master of my own domains!" I wouldn't trade it for anything!

"The Best Office Anyone Can Have!"

I feel very fortunate to be able to spend most of my weeks at this paradisiac place. Although the whole house is not much bigger than the last office space I used to have in my previous life, the physical space becomes irrelevant when you become part of this fabulous environment. 

"How Is The View from Your Office?"

From mine, no day was like the other. 

"Birds paradise!":  Anyone would be amazed the wildlife I share this environment with everyday. Especially birds. All sorts of varieties, colors and sizes.

"Adopting a family of birds?"

Spending so much time at this paradisal place shows the reality of how nature works. You start to know the different animals surrounding you daily, how they live, act, feed, etc.

Very common to the zone, Alcaravans is a kind of bird that you find almost everywhere in this region. They live in couples, usually nesting with one or two chicks. They are very territorial birds and practically impossible to miss, mainly because they are aggressive about defending their territory and their chicks for a good reason since several predators feed on their babies.

My daughter enjoys giving names to every living creature nearby, and this family of Alcaravans is no exception. Russia and Noruega were finally able to nest a little chick, my daughter named Finlandia, or Finn, as we ended up calling her.

But the birth of Finn showed us how cruel nature can be and the daily struggle a baby bird has to live to become an adult. Several times, I had to save this tiny chick from becoming food for other families of animals, including one time when I saved her from the crawls of the hawk that had already caught her. I adopted the family of birds, and luckily, Finn grew to become an adult Alcaravan.

New Studio / Even Better View!

Who would have imagined that we were fortunate enough to land in a even better and more beautiful place?

Certainly a very nice and inspiring Office View!
