Ättä: Casa mágica

We can appreciate Claudia Lavegas' work both in its formal excellence and in its conceptual value. This is evident in her appreciation for our native cultural roots and her interest in preserving nature. The paintings and drawings in this exhibition are focused on two fundamental themes: the roofs of the churuatas (indigenous huts) and views or cross-sections of trees, which result from her recurring trips to the Amazon. Her representation of these themes is so powerful because there is a need to deeply understand our native cultural context, which involves experiencing and touching nature as well as seeing the habitats of indigenous communities that live there. The result is an interesting challenge between reality and abstraction in which there is undoubtedly an ethical reflection of art, while also evoking a strong aesthetic and emotional sense in the viewer.
