Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a stark monochromatic composition, with a single elongated stem rising against a plain white background. The stem is crafted from a dark, textured material, possibly metal, and terminates in a sculptural, asymmetrical floral-like form. The overall effect is one of stark minimalism, emphasizing the interplay of negative space and the organic yet abstract nature of the artwork. The artist's intention appears to be exploring themes of natural forms, materiality, and the juxtaposition of simplicity and complexity within a refined, contemporary aesthetic. ...

Beatriz Cortez
B.1970, Salvadoran

Beatriz Cortez is an artist who creates sculptures and large-scale public installations that focus on themes of migration, movement, and cultural exchange. Drawing inspiration from her own experience of immigrating to the United States from El Salvador, she incorporates indigenous elements such as plants and stones from the Americas into her sculptures to highlight the parallels between the migration of people and plants. In her public installations, she includes weather and other atmospheric conditions to encourage viewers to consider the vast time spans marked by the planet's movements, the presence of non-human worlds with different timeframes all around us, and the ways in which materials are affected by their location and interactions with the environment. Her most popular work, Tzolk’in (2018), is a large-scale mechanical sculpture that incorporates elements of Mayan cosmology and technology. The machine is inspired by the ancient Maya calendar that was used for agriculture, and its gears move in a way that combines circular and linear motion. Her work imagines a new kind of space that brings together different histories and cultures, acknowledging global and cosmic nomadism and envisioning the potential for divergent entities to coexist. ...
