Description
In Pachamama, Lorena Villalobos works in oil and cold wax on canvas board, a forest landscape in pale blue and grey where a face emerges from the tree trunks at the upper left, flowers scatter through the branches and water holds the lower half of the composition. The natural world here is explicitly animate — this is a Mother Earth painting, the land rendered as presence and portrait simultaneously.
Art historian and former Costa Rican Minister of Culture Carlos Francisco Echeverría has described her work as among the most significant to have emerged from the region in recent times. She is among twenty-six artists named as Modern and Contemporary Masters in Central American Modernism (Ford and Snider, 2018).
