Chía illuminates el Cocuy (2023) acrylic, collage, woodcut and lithography on fabric. This work is inspired by the wordlview of the Muisca people, whose territory is the Andean highlands of what is now Colombia. Chía is the lunar deity who guided the zipa, one of the two rulers of the pre-hispanic Muisca Confederation. Chía is the triple moon goddess and she was worshipped in her three phases. On the waxing moon she was the young rebelling Huitaca, on the full moon the fertility goddess Chia, and on waning moons the wise old mother, Yubecayguaya (Bachue). In this painting, Chía is illuminating the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, a series of glaciated highlands in the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes. The Sierra has several high peaks, 18 of which are covered with permanent snow. There used to be more but this glacier system is quickly receding because of the climate crisis. These glacials sustain the rivers that feed the Orinoco and Magdalena basins, which are essential for both the Venezuelan and Colombian population.

I am a Colombian artist living in Barcelona. Through art I have been able to connect with the landscapes and culture of my ancestors. I re-imagine Latin American art through historical figures, legends, landscapes and symbology inspired by the iconography of pre-Hispanic goldsmith masters. I am inspired by the revival of historical memory, the wisdom of indigenous cosmovisions and nature. My work frequently transforms landscapes into relief engravings with metallic colors that represent the mineral richness of the earth. For the last four years I have been managing Casa Jaguar /@casajaguar.studio/, an art studio in Barcelona where I collaborate with other Colombian audiovisual artists with whom I share my interest in developing a visual language that integrates pre-Hispanic art with contemporary art.
