The prayer of the Indian. - Animal figurative magic.A moment to remember when we were connected to the magical and invisible, when animals were gods. Painting 23" x 20" inch by Ion Xiua. Mixed technique. Oil on canvas made with professional Winsor & Newton colors protected with gloss varnish with UV protection. It is sent rolled and protected in a tube with a certificate of authenticity. Everything is connected, the visible and the invisible. In the figuration present in my painting, I explore the defenselessness of the contemporary human being before the digital world and hyperconnected to social networks, which in most of us generates a deep loneliness and emptiness. The presence of animals is a balm for our existence, I want us to remember that we are one more of them and in our condition we are obliged to respect, dignify and love them as sacred creatures to whom we owe ourselves. As a form of resistance to the speed of the contemporary world, the processes of my painting are slow, I transform the matter slowly, little by little, layer after layer until I create worlds where colors, textures and fantastic beings inhabit.

Colombia
I was born in Zipaquirá (Colombia), the city where the famous salt cathedral is located, and currently reside and work in Bogotá. I pursued contemporary art studies at Javeriana University and studied painting at the National University of Colombia. I had the privilege of being a student in the studio of the late Peruvian painter Armando Villegas. South America serves as the foundation of my work, with its unpredictable skies, mysterious, indomitable, and magical nature, its animals, and the people who traverse its lands. I draw inspiration from the pre-Hispanic artistic tradition and the principles of Constructive Universalism, aiming to create an art form that is deeply rooted in local essence while encompassing a universal scope. As Joaquín Torres García once said, "Our north is the south." My work seeks totality, where the abstract and the representational coexist in harmonious fusion. In my abstract paintings, I explore the relationships and balance between shapes and color blocks, evoking the orthogonal lines of Inca constructions and the intricate fabric of pre-Hispanic cultures. Through the figurative elements in my paintings, I delve into the vulnerability of contemporary human beings in the face of the digital world and the hyperconnectivity of social networks, which often engenders deep feelings of loneliness and emptiness within us. The presence of animals serves as a soothing balm for our existence, reminding us that we are intrinsically connected to them, and as such, we are obligated to treat them with respect, dignity, and love, acknowledging them as sacred creatures to whom we owe our appreciation. As a form of resistance against the rapid pace of the contemporary world, the processes involved in my paintings are deliberately slow. I meticulously transform the matter, layer by layer, until I give life to worlds where colors, textures, and fantastic beings coexist harmoniously.
