Description

VEGETABLE FAUNA

The challenge of using only vegetables to portray the animal kingdom, is actually an exercise in perception, creativity and memory, where I bring up images from photo books about the fauna of different regions of the world that as a child enchanted me. As well as documentaries shown on television about life on the planet, which were also part of my childhood and today inspire me to produce this work of art.

With a keen eye on vegetable forms, I seek through this work to draw attention to the fact that life on the planet is one. The animal and plant kingdoms blend and create hybrid beings in a unique universe that defies perception. An inattentive look can easily be deceived, as I seek to highlight Lavoisier's maxim, where 'In nature nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transformed.'
