About The Artwork
Acrylic, engraving, collage, lithograph on canvas. Hanging hardware included. Lupuna is one of the largest trees in the Amazon rainforest. Various amazonian groups including the Yagua, Urarina and Huaorani people consider the lupuna tree a fundamental mythical being. The tree is intimately related to the Amazon river across different versions of creation myths. The Yagua people tell of a time when there was barely any water in the jungle. Back then, a pair of twins lived with their grandparents. Their grandfather would leave gourds filled with water for them to carry into their home. Tired of this task, they set out to find the source of the water, which was only known to their grandfather. One of the brothers turned into a hummingbird and followed the old man to a tree called Lupuna, from where water sprung. Only after several days of work and with the help of many animals, the two brothers took down the tree after one of them turned into a scorpion and stung their grandfather's toe. The immense tree fell down and water flowed from its trunk turning into the Amazon river. Lupuna's branches transformed into streams, creeks and affluents and its leaves became the fish that swim in the basin of the world's largest river.

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 /@casajaguar.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.
