Totty Sar

I am TottySar, a passionate artist who finds beauty in natural materials and the connection between art and nature. My work focuses on the unique technique of using guava seeds and banana leaves to create pieces that combine sustainability and aesthetics, reflecting the richness and fragility of the natural world. From Colombia, each piece I create is a testament to my love for organic elements and the power of art to tell meaningful stories.

My artistic approach is based on the exploration of textures and innovation, always seeking ways to integrate unusual materials into my pieces. In addition to my work with seeds and leaves, I am also a self-taught artist in Visual Arts. My journey in art began through self-exploration, experimenting with natural materials to find my unique voice in the art world.
