Description
The painting presents a lush, verdant forest scene, dominated by a dense tangle of deep green foliage and towering trees. The overall composition creates a sense of depth and mystery, as the viewer's gaze is drawn into the dark, tangled undergrowth and the dappled light filtering through the canopy. The artist has skillfully rendered the textural qualities of the leaves and bark, using a range of greens and browns to capture the natural essence of the forest. The inclusion of a small body of water in the foreground adds a serene, reflective element to the scene, hinting at the tranquility and untamed nature of this hidden, secluded world.

Nohemí Pérez
B.1964, ColombianThe multidisciplinary practice of Nohemí Pérez, revolves around the relationship between men and nature; the conflicts, tensions and genesis that arise from this constant friction. Based on the notions of architecture, cinema and sociology, the artist proposes a rereading of the Catatumbo territory; a geographical region in the border between Colombia and Venezuela with a very particular natural and sociocultural ecosystem. From the conquest until today, Catatumbo is the scene of multiple conflicts that have been transformed to compose a complex plot of anachronistic situations characteristic of Latin American contemporaneity. Illegal armed groups of right, left, native tribes, evangelical missionaries and large multinationals of mining and drug trafficking coexist in this jungle region. Very often, Pérez uses charcoal in her work as a reference to mining; coal itself is also a recurring element, with which she aims to make visible the exploitation of natural resources and at the same time the violence that this triggers. From the territory of her memory and her affections, Nohemí Pérez reconstructs the history of her origin and thus, collects the voices of those who live and have lived the Catatumbo from the close emotional ties of their experience. A particular interest in Nohemí’s work is to draw new symbolic and geographical maps that correspond to the various realities of the Catatumbo to allow it to appear on the scene of reconstruction and peace. ...
