In this painting, I continue the exploration of La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta—as a subject matter, material, and metaphor. I have spent the last 10 years walking through this mountain range, establishing an intimate relationship with the site and discovering new layers of our mutual dependence after each expedition. La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is the largest coastal mountain range in the world. With peaks of 18,700 ft above sea level it has been identified as the most irreplaceable site for biodiversity conservation in the world given its very high endemism and the amount of threaten species that inhabit it. Hence why the native people from La Sierra, the ancestors of the pre-Hispanic Civilization, known as the Tayrona refer to this area as “The heart of the world.” They believe that this mountain is a microcosm of the planet, a reflection of what happens in the world at large.

Colombia
Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Ana lives and works in between Brooklyn, New York and Colombia. Growing up, she moved between Nicaragua (her mother’s homeland) while it was undergoing the throes of dictatorship and revolution; Colombia while it was ravaged by narco-terrorism and Cambridge, MA where she was exposed to a diverse community. These inspiring and turbulent environments heightened Ana Maria’s sense of awareness and social conscience and solidified her motivation to use art as a way to spark reflection and conversation.
