Dino Lema es un artista visual nacido el 10 de julio de 1987 en la comunidad de Peguche-Otavalo, en las faldas del volcán Imbabura. A los cinco años, comenzó a verse influenciado por familiares vinculados al mundo del arte. Rodeado del olor a trementina, resina y pintura, y de los numerosos bocetos en los talleres de su tío y su primo, empezó a realizar sus primeros dibujos. Siguió consolidando su práctica durante la escuela primaria y secundaria.

Eventualmente, decidió estudiar la carrera de Artes Plásticas en la Universidad Técnica del Norte, en la ciudad de Ibarra, donde comenzó a perfeccionar su técnica y a consolidar su interés por la pintura.

Durante su formación, exploró diversas disciplinas, como la escultura en metal, donde descubrió un interés por el trabajo con materiales reciclados y por la combinación de técnicas, como la pintura sobre lienzo y la escultura metálica. Esta exploración daría lugar posteriormente a la obra escultórica Awak Wawakuna, mostrada aquí.

Asimismo, desarrolló una afinidad por la técnica del grabado, produciendo obras en xilografía para la exposición Kishpi Warmikuna. Yo no soy María. Su interés por la pintura lo llevó a centrarse principalmente en la práctica pictórica, continuando el perfeccionamiento de la técnica acrílica y la creación de obras en diversos soportes experimentales.
