EL REINO
THE KINGDOM emerges from a synthesis of botanical photography, digital design, and tactile craft. Originating from photographs of banana leaves transformed into a dense, organic textural backdrop, the piece unfolds a symbolic universe where totemic structures, fantastical flora, and evocative silhouettes coexist.
Through interconnected layers of paint and textile collage intervention, the work explores the mystery of living nature and the construction of a mythical imagery. The central figure evokes an ancestral presence—a botanical guardian or deity—that anchors the composition and engages with the vibrant flashes of yellow, blue, and copper emerging from the background. It is a deeply tactile and complex piece that invites slow contemplation, transforming its surrounding space into a mystical and enigmatic realm.
