The background image of this artwork was captured from the summit of a tower [Inventory Number: TOWER30], which was built by the artist, offering a breathtaking perspective that reflects the artist's vision and connection to the environment. This exceptional view, showcasing the stunning landscape of the Golfo Dulce and the surrounding rainforest, serves as an ideal foundation for this artwork. The artist transforms this imagery into an otherworldly scenery.
The editions are derived from original paintings, installations, photographs and live performances, showcasing a unique blend of artistic expression.
Each artwork is a fusion of printing techniques and manual interventions with a variety of media such as oil, pastels, acrylic and charcoal on canvas.
“First I moved to Costa Rica to the most remote southern Peninsula de Osa,
then I built the tallest natural build tower up in the hills in the midst of surrounding rainforest. Then I took several photographs of the stunning view towards the Golfo Dulce from the top of the tower. This is one of the images which I then modified by adding one of my symbolic images which is based on other paintings where it appears in different contexts. The fusion of all those steps then lead to this work combining my visionary work with an image of exceptional depth and natural divinity.”
