Road to Santa María la Alta Painting

The work "Santa María La Alta" refers to the body of water of the same name that has been projected as an alternative source of water supply for the municipal aqueduct, a place that is accessed by a rough road entering by the foothills and that is part of the artistic investigative process "Entrecaños" that It happens with regard to Villavicencio, an intermediate city located in the foothills plains and with a large number of bodies of water. In addition to the rivers that surround it, the Guatiquía and Guayuriba, Ocoa and Negro, is crossed, in its pair by the Parrado pipes, Gramalote, Maizaro, Buque, Grande, Quebrada Honda, Rosablanca, Seco and La Cuerera among others. We could then say that it is a city that is between pipes, and at the same time going through it we will always be related to a nearby body of water, despite of the contamination and drying of some in the urban areas of the city where they conserve a few wetlands and several rural water bodies. My artistic practice is constantly in contact with living in Villavicencio, its context cultural, sociopolitical and geographic; in other words, in the sensitive response to place I live in, in this transit a large part of my life has passed, both as a student of undergraduate as in professional practice, in this recurrence to scrutinize it both in its urban, social dynamics and in the loophole of the rural that still remains in a recognize constant.
