Description

In this series, I dedicated my time to portraying different jungle landscapes in one, if not the most, humid rainforest jungles in the world… The Chocó region in Colombia is located between the Pacific Ocean and the tropical Andes mountain range. In June 2024, I spent two weeks in that region taking inspiration from the virgin forest, its vegetation, and the animals living there. At night you can see the bioluminescence phenomena on the tree barks, the jungle floor, the giant fireflies, and the fungi and lichens everywhere. Nature is in full display! The jungle there is so thick sometimes it is not easy to walk. I usually trek near water streams and also camp close to the water to avoid snakes on the floor and thorns from the vegetation. That is what I am painting here… the forest understory.
