Selva Adentro
2020 — today⎥Presented at the Galería Sextante, Bogotá, Colombia, in 2024
In these paintings there is matter, tension, tearing. Everything is organic in a way that is at once vegetal and human, because it is nervous and visceral: everything is fiber, muscle, trunk and branching; yet we also feel that everything is at once vital pulsation and decomposition. An adventure into the entrails of living matter, where the jungle and the organism are one and the same thing, where life and death are manifestations of the same miracle and the same tragedy, where matter is spirit and, in its contortions, releases a cry that is at once painful and triumphant.
