Man, driven by a desire for infinity, has always sought to encompass realities beyond those that immediately surround him, thus constituting his myths and worldviews.
I conceive the symbols of our pre-Columbian civilizations as manifestations of the spirit which, from their silence and cultural obscurity, speak of the multiple identities that constitute us: figures that turn us towards the past and in some way also towards the present, as they have built the history and the mestizo American consciousness.
“The Golden Ratio” is a work I have been developing this year in which I intend to portray 20 pre-Columbian “arcana”: from the Augustinian statuary in the Colombian massif to the worship of sacred plants in the Zenú culture in the Caribbean.
