A tactile and chromatic homage to Andean flora (2023). On a rhythmic hemp base, Betancourt merges organic geometry and gestural brushstrokes to capture the vital essence and light of the native trees of Cumbayá.

Description

In “Árboles nativos de Cumbayá (Native Trees of Cumbayá)”, Miguel Betancourt orchestrates an ancestral dialogue between matter and landscape. Upon the raw and vibrant texture of hemp, which emerges as a shared rhythmic trunk, the artist weaves a symphony of greens, blues, and ochres. They are not simple trees; they are structures of light and time sinking their roots into the memory of the valley. Gestural brushstrokes and organic geometry intertwine to capture the vital essence of native flora, creating a visual sanctuary where nature breathes with its own strength. The artwork is a tactile and chromatic homage to the earth, an invitation to reconnect with roots and celebrate the untamed beauty of the Andean environment.

“In Miguel Betancourt’s work, color is not mere filling; it is a living language that rescues the transparency of wax paper to remind us that light is the soul of form.”
