Amazonas

The amazon series emerges from a place deeper than geography. It flows from memory, ancestry and the quiet conversations I have always held with the natural world. Born and raised in Bolivia, my relationship with nature has never been abstract or distant. It is intimate. The forest, the rivers, the mountains, and the rain have always felt like relatives; ancient, breathing presences that shape my spirit and guide my art.
This body os work is not a depiction of the Amazon, it is a resonance. It is a way of painting nit the forest itself, but what the forest feels like. Through layered abstraction, each canvas in Amazonas carries the pulse of humid air, the whisper of leaves, the silent wisdom of water roots, and the glimmer of unseen creatures in motion. The colors bleed into one another like rivers during the flood season, carrying stories not written in words, but in veins of pigment and texture.

As a South American woman, I carry the legacy of living close to the earth. Not as a resource, but as a relative. In Bolivia, especially in Andean and Amazonian cosmologies, nature is not “ outside “ of us. We are not separate from it. We are made of it. We belong to it. This understanding lives within me, and I carry it into every brushstroke. Painting becomes a ritual of remembering. A way to honor the pacha, the world in all its layered dimensions: physical, spiritual, emotional, and cosmic.

The Amazon is not only Brazil. It touches Bolivia too, especially in the north, where lush rainforest begins to pulse through the land like a living artery. But more than a place, Amazonas is a presence, expansive, threatened, sacred. This series is also a quiet call to listen, to see the forest not just as beauty, but as intelligence, resilience, and ancient teacher.
I hope that when viewers stand before these works, they can feel what I felt while creating them: awe, reverence, and grief.
A longing to protect what is still alive and a mourning for what has been lost. These pieces are not meant to be didactic, they are invitations. Invitations to remember our own roots, whenever we are, and to awaken to the deep interconnectedness we often forget in modern life.

Amazonas is not just my story. Is the story of a land that remembers. A forest that dreams. And a being who still listens.
