Argentine visual artist and educator Delfina Bourse’s oeuvre explores the dialogue between form, color, and materiality. By building layers of paint, she reinterprets the pictorial surface and transforms it into a new kind of epidermis: dense, corporeal, and vibrant. In this way, unfolding an expansive universe of color.

In our conversation, she shares how, for her, art and life are deeply intertwined—one cannot exist without the other. This intimate connection is reflected in her work, an authentic and sensitive portrait of her inner self.

Peruvian multidisciplinary artist Cristina Flores Pescorán’s work explores the dialogue between the body, healing, medical experiences, family memory, and feminism. She expresses herself through textile art, performance, video, photography, ceramics, and installation.

Reflecting on her own treatment and recovery, she incorporates pre-Hispanic weaving techniques and dyeing with medicinal plants that are part of her daily diet. Cristina envisions healing as a connection between the body and ancestral knowledge, rooted in the restorative processes of nature.

North American photographer Benjamin Langford’s practice extends far beyond traditional photography; his hyperreal representations of flowers exist somewhere between image and sculpture. By amplifying scale and shifting perspective, he invites us to contemplate flowers in ways otherwise invisible to the human eye.

In addition to this, he creates striking natural scenes where photographs are intervened with painting. His work explores how the tools we use to depict the natural world shape our experience of it.

Argentine visual artist Martín Reyna’s vibrant compositions explore color, rhythm, and chance. Painting outdoors in Patagonia’s Parallel 42 region, he connects with nature through light and direct perception.

His deconstructed imagery creates a universe of color, shaped by water-soluble materials that flow freely across paper and canvas. The only figurative element that has remained constant throughout his career is the tree.
