About The Artwork

"Macchu Picchu" is a woodcut with collage on paper made in 2020 inspired by the Andean landscapes of South America. Wood box frame without glass, 3.5 cm deep. For the poet Pablo Neruda, the Latin American continent took form from the heights of Macchu Picchu. The Incas abandoned that “high reef of the human dawn” during spanish colonization and for centuries it remained a “shovel lost in the earliest sand.” The poet recounts his ascent up the Andean ladder of the earth: !I felt infinitely small in the center of that navel of rocks, the navel of a deserted world, proud, towering high, to which I somehow belonged. I felt that my own hands had labored there at some remote point in time, digging furrows, polishing the rocks. I felt Chilean, Peruvian, American. On those difficult heights, among those glorious, scattered ruins, I had found the principles of faith I needed to continue my poetry."

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.
