ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I made "Josefinas" (2021) using woodcut, lithograph and collage on velvet papel. Josefinas are orchids which grow on trees or rocks in cool and cold forests like those high up in the tropical Andes. This piece is part of the series "Orquídeachika" inspired by orchids' beauty and elegance which I interpret as female. In the tropics, orchids bloom in greater diversity: from the humid jungles to the cloud forests high up in mountains. Colombia, where I was born and raised, has the largest number of orchid species in the world which proliferate in almost the entire country: from sea level ecosystems to those of high altitude in the Andes. Their flowers are complex and have crucial interactions with pollinators and fungi around them. They can be found almost anywhere in the world in a myriad of shapes and sizes.

I am a Colombian artist living in Barcelona. Through art I have been able to connect with the landscapes and culture of my ancestors. I re-imagine Latin American art through historical figures, legends, landscapes and symbology inspired by the iconography of pre-Hispanic goldsmith masters. I am inspired by the revival of historical memory, the wisdom of indigenous cosmovisions and nature. My work frequently transforms landscapes into relief engravings with metallic colors that represent the mineral richness of the earth. For the last four years I have been managing Casa Jaguar /.studio/, an art studio in Barcelona where I collaborate with other Colombian audiovisual artists with whom I share my interest in developing a visual language that integrates pre-Hispanic art with contemporary art.
