Eliana Calle Saari was born in Medellin, Colombia, South America where she received her Associate Degree in Fashion Design at the Escuela de Diseño Proyectual. Soon after, in 1991, she moved to The United States and received duel Bachelors of Arts in Art and Spanish from Otterbein University. Calle Saari then received her MFA in printmaking from The Ohio State University in 2002.

“The Road Ahead” focuses on the process of saying good-bye and opening new doors to a brighter future. Of these new works, Calle Saari says, “This body of work is about the cycle of starting something new, letting it go, saying goodbye, moving on, keeping things behind, and starting anew. Most things in life are just temporary, they come, they go, and we keep on walking. We keep looking at the road ahead. I started to think about all the things I have left behind every time I closed a door.  I recalled all the memories, those wanted and unwanted. Closing doors to unwanted memories takes me to new doors. These memories have helped me manage to build the path ahead, leading me in a direction to begin again.”
