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! Painting the understory is not the easiest thing to do, there are a myriad of insects biting while you work, and snakes and other poisonous creatures are always a danger while laying paint. But the beauty of the intricate forms and the sounds and colors are just awesome. It's all worth it.
