This exhibition is composed of five interpretations of the Andes Mountains: Scar, Ornament, Cemetery, Fossil Seabed, and The Sacred. Each one represents a tectonic, geological, and archaeological story: an imagined perception. Ways of reading a geography that frames the lives of those who inhabit it; subjective reliefs that shape a personal and phenomenological experience of the landscape. A poetic resonance of its forms, profiles, and contrasts.
Various samples of natural soils, collected in the mountain ranges of Colombia and Bolivia, became the background color of these paintings, forming the substrate that gives rise to each narrative and pictorial idea. A bird's-eye view invites us to rethink the scale of the mountains, resizing their volume through fragments of folds and colored reliefs. A broad yet restrained pictorial landscape, where the vanishing point is intuited on a horizon that seems to recede.
The works are presented as emotional cartographies that intertwine the natural and the symbolic, the physical and the spiritual. Through an aesthetic that oscillates between abstraction and evocation, the artist proposes a sensory reading of the Andean territory, where each layer of pigment and each stroke reveal traces of time, memory, and belonging. This approach not only observes the geography from a visual standpoint but inhabits it through intuition and experience, inviting the viewer to contemplate the mountain range not as a distant object, but as a living, breathing body.
