\u201cIn Interlace, Maria Jos\u00e9 Chica\u2019s work delves into how cultural and geographical roots shape personal identity, offering a profound reflection on belonging and transformation. Presented as part of Interlace, a collaborative exhibition exploring Latin American heritage and migration, her paintings connect the physical landscapes of Colombia with the fluidity of human history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Drawing inspiration from geological strata and archaeological traces, Chica\u2019s layered compositions use natural pigments sourced from Colombia\u2019s ancient soils. These vibrant materials physically connect her work to the earth\u2019s history, merging abstract patterns with archival imagery of ruins and archaeological sites. Her paintings reveal how the natural world and human narratives intertwine, reminding us that identity is shaped by both the places we come from and the stories we carry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Through her art, Chica challenges linear notions of time, presenting history as a cycle of accumulation and erosion. Her reversible works blur the lines between past and present, natural and human, inviting us to see identity as a shared, evolving story. By uncovering the invisible layers beneath our feet and within ourselves, Chica\u2019s work offers a meditative lens on what connects us as one humankind, highlighting the profound impact of cultural exchange and transformation.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
