Luis Caballero Holguín (27 August 1943 – 19 June 1995),[1] born in Bogotá was a Colombian painter, watercolourist, pastellist and lithographer.
He studied at the University of Los Andes (Colombia) in 1961–62, where he met and was influenced by etcher artist Juan Antonio Roda and art critic Marta Traba.
He continued his academic studies in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, graduating in 1964.
His figurative works are usually large scale mixed media oil, ink, watercolor washes on either canvas or paper, sometimes incorporating fabrics or rope in a limited range of muted sepia colors, often representing male nude figures, in a contemporary style marked by classic training.
