The pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the territories that became the country known today as Ecuador achieved a high degree of aesthetic abstraction. This pictorial work interprets that old language through various visual and material elements like oil, gold foil and acrylic to bring about new and different readings.
El Dorado exhibition looks towards the ancestral roots, proposes an approach to myth and legend. It collects the vestiges of the history disappeared in the mystery, rebuilt from its fragments and united by pieces. The search for gold, its relationship with the divine, the alchemical transmutation, the notion of the commodity, the illusion and the paradigm
of wealth come together here. The ancestral images are still alive, they have survived oblivion. They are part of our essence and our cultural genetics, they are beating and they open their way from our most hidden memory.
El Dorado is the myth of multiple meanings in which the deepest longings and archetypes are translated.
