About
"Olga de Amaral was born in Colombia. This country has a very ancient civilization background. The artist looks down to the world.
Her work, full of the sun and wild energies, is an mapmaking of the Earth. Olga de Amaral catches its beauty: mountains, sea, plains, fractures continents and mineral wealth...
Her silent and lucid vision goes through the time.
Of course, Humans live a while in our Earth. Never a man or an animal is represented in Olga de Amaral’s work; the artist weaves their footsteps across faiths, restoring their mark on Earth, as when she composes its pueblos.
Between symbolism (in particular colors, knots, weaving) and guration, she creates a new way to see the world, a beautiful image of our Earth. The Cortex of our Earth.”
