Art in Bloom

The Argentine visual artist Andrés Paredes invites us to explore his childhood in Misiones and the profound influence of the Atlantic Rainforest on his art. His works reflect the jungle's vibrant greens and red soil, key elements that shaped his identity. Using insects like butterflies and cicadas, he delves into themes of transformation and life cycles. His art transcends aesthetics, incorporating materials like isipó basketry and soil from termite mounds to tell the story of his land, culture, and landscape.
