Curatorial Review: This luminous portrayal of the central park in Salamina, Caldas captures more than a location—it captures a soul. With its towering trees, classic fountain, and colonial architecture glowing in warm tones, the artist evokes a space of gathering, memory, and rooted identity. The rich brushwork and vivid reflections turn the familiar into the sublime, elevating the park from a geographic place to an emotional landscape. It is an homage to the pueblo, its people, and its enduring spirit.
Artist Statement: Salamina lives in me—not just as a town, but as a heartbeat. I painted this park from memory and presence, letting each color carry the emotion of my roots: the green of the ceibas, the golden sun slipping through the branches, the sound of footsteps on the stone. This is a painting of home. Of where stories began. Of where silence tiene voz.
