Cobo lived and worked in places ranging from his native Cali and nearby
Bogotá to
Quito, Chicago, New York City,
Tucson and
Madrid, which gave him a broad vision of art. His work was featured in group and individual exhibitions since 1977, in Colombia and around the world. In his final years, he edited and directed an online Latin American cultural magazine,
Primera Plana. In 2005, he called upon a number of writers and poets from Latin America and Spain to produce a literary anthology about the topic of violence and how it affects women, a particularly significant issue in recent
Latin American history. The result was a book entitled
MUJER, Soledad y Violencia ("Woman, Solitude, and Violence"), which he subsequently illustrated. Cobo died in Madrid in July 2024. ==References==
