About The Artwork
The ecology of the Amazon rainforest is the result of 10,000 years of land management practiced by its peoples. They domesticated and cultivated plant species like the brazil nut, cacao and rubber trees. To sustain their towns and cities, they slashed and charred parts of the forest to create arable soils. This practice created “Terra preta” or “Amazonian dark earth” which is still found along the river basins. People abandoned these fertile soils when they fled from colonizers. The Amazon was not a “pristine” rainforest when colonizers arrived. It was (and is) a landscape enriched by the work of its peoples throughout millenia.

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.
