Drought Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

Guru Seva is a Chilean artist who lives and works in Mexico. Khalsa uses different mediums such as sculpture, photography, New Media, video and installation to honestly address his concerns about the environment, as well as the political and aesthetic relationship between the micro and the macro. Through his work, the artist generates narratives in which it is possible to reflect on the sympathetic and unsympathetic relationships between human beings and nature, within an increasingly ambivalent world. Since 2015 he has been part of "Los Salvajes" collective, made up of him and the artist Pablo Ramírez. Appropriating the concept of the “savage”, a Eurocentric construction that justifies the domination over “others”, the collective questions the concept of progress and its link with the use of power. He studied his bachelor’s degree in visual arts at the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Graphics of Mexico "La Esmeralda" (2010-2012) and graduated from an exchange program at Universidad Mayor in Chile (2013-2014). He has participated in numerous collective exhibitions such as: “Naturae”, Chance Encounters Project, Mexico City (2020); “Burning Palm”, Miguel Salinas Library, curated by Helena Lugo, Mexico (2019); “#ATÓPIC” Intramurs art festival, Rector Peset gallery, Spain (2018); “Droits De L'Homme”, UNESCO Headquarters, Belgium (2018); “Co-incide”, El Amate Cultural Center, México (2017); “Breaking sedentarism”, Main Gallery of the Faro de Oriente (2017). His work has been exhibited in Belgium, Chile, Spain, France, India and Mexico.
