Additional Information: Vestiges' is part of the series of oil paintings by Fernanda Morales Tovar: "Archeologies of the environment", in which, she explores the analogies and dialectics existing in the environment that promote the conjunction of nature and urban devices in everyday life. Through a visual archeology that is based on the interpretation and proposal of signs of intersection in the spaces, the humans, the stories, the ruin and the landscape; through the use of painting values such as descriptive and schematic levels of representation, rhythm and color. In order to be alternative landscapes, mediated by the imagination, which imitate the future of the individual in the face of the daily illusion that everyone faces.

About the Artist: My artistic research focuses on the permanent dialogue of the artist with their work and environment, with an emphatic reflection from the pictorial. On the canvas, through affective scenes and visual montages, I propose a series of archaeological essays mediated by the action of confluence: a principle to indicate the incorporation of the human and the industrial in the constant modification of the environment. Represented through the capture of human labor activities, their gait and construction or configuration in/on the landscape, with the support of images (exhumed, from archive or own photographs) from a perspective of optical distortions of the painting. This seeks to be an instrument that makes possible a different look at reality, to "contemplate" it, under a diverse staging; that arises from the impulse to confront our immediate surroundings. Thus, my painting aims to be a conduit that allows generating new connections with reality through the recreation of places from painting.
