Inspired by the heartbeat of life that is generated at every moment in the jungle where I find the magic of contemplation and silence, this work is a tribute to the magical way in which nature preserves itself. In a meditative state, a guardian dressed in heart-colored clothing protects a small leaf in her hands to remind us that we must respect and love plants as a treasure.
On top of the imprint of leaves and oil, I added preserved natural leaves with texture sewn to the canvas to highlight its beauty.
