About Your Work

As an artist, you investigate environmental issues associated with the territory in the context of the Colombian Caribbean. Specifically between the Ciénaga Grande and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where the fauna and characteristic ecosystems of the region become the main protagonists of the works.

Faced with the need to master the visual language through practice, you create fictions and narratives. You create compositions that allude to cinematic and dystopian films. You seek to generate reflections through visual metaphors that resonate with the viewer's need to look.

The works arise from an exploration of charcoal as a key mineral in the resolution of environmental problems associated with deforestation and illegal burning of forests. In these works, charcoal becomes a basic element for creation, with the premise of the symbolic reconstruction of forests or ecosystems through art.

As a result of this process, we find large-format drawings made in charcoal on canvas, symbolically reconstructing landscapes characteristic of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, a biome that suffers constant deforestation for the illegal sale of charcoal and planting of monocultures.

Likewise, the Refuge series appears as a set of paintings made in acrylics on paper made from charcoal, presented as a symbolic way to protect and safeguard species characteristic of the Caribbean region due to these issues affecting the region, turning the paper into a form of ecosystem for these species to inhabit.
