Nam-Eland Oil on canvas This work comes from a beautiful and memorable photograph taken of the Namibia desert in 2013. The painting portrays a futuristic devious pose and the world in 2050, referring to our involvement in the environment and impact on these animals. How do you picture Elands in 2050? Notice the nose of the Eland has a heart form. I have been thinking about hearts at the moment, so it is special to come across this image again. This work come from the collection Nanimals ( Namibia + Animals ) Inspired in my visit to Namibia during 2012-2013 ‘Namimales’ provides a fantastic insight into Namibia from the perspective of a future generation of animals. The general idea of the collection the portrays of the oppression of animals forced to live in a decayed environment brought about by their human co-residents. Each piece also explores the attitudes of the animals in devious poses as they become participant in its disrespect.

La Rosa is an artist affected by themes relating to childhood and the experience of growing up in community with a strong connection with the environment. Originally from Narino, Colombia after graduate leave to study English and start working in New Zealand after seven years leave to Namibia for one year and from there to the UK. currently based in Brighton. La Rosa’s work seeks to explore the connection amongst ourselves and with our relationship with the environment. This interest has been expressed through the investigation of the fragmentation of relationships at a societal and wider ambiental level. Projects have included ‘Product of Colombia’ solo exhibition which portrayed the disconnect between westerner consumers and coffee producers in Colombia through reused coffee sacks, and "Las Negritas" which critiqued the continued subservient portrayal of black women in Colombian popular culture. Racial segmentation has been later explored in an African context through the 2014 series called Submarine desert which represents desertscape post-apartheid social structures in Namibia. Natural themes predominate and are often explored through childish associations. Our urge to connect with the essential and authentic resonant throughout the work and naive representation used to point to continuous rebirth from our surroundings. This is expressed through images of animals and landscapes and has included series ranging from the experience of Namibian animals participating in environmental decay, the disconnected of deer in a London park, and the interstellar promotion of second-class animals, where those are not privileged from humans and so many times forcing to domesticated and or have mistreated, as in the series "Pigeon Spikes" Using spontaneous recycled materials so giving a reason to create La Rosa is currently working on a series called "Barb Wire" Rosa Baquero earned her MFA from the institute departamental of Fine Arts, Cali-Colombia.
