Abstract

The painting captures the essence of nature and the earth, emphasizing the importance of the territory in the artwork. The roots that envelop the landscape and transform it into other underground elements suggest a profound connection with the land and the richness of nature in the Amazon.

The painting presents an abstract landscape in which we can observe the surface and the depth of the earth and its roots. The roots appear to wrap around the landscape, transforming into other underground elements and even clouds. Thus, the landscape becomes a bridge between above and below, representing the connection between humans and non-human worlds. This could be related to the Indigenous cosmologies of the Amazon, which emphasize the interconnectedness of all elements of nature.

Resumo

A pintura captura a essência da natureza e da terra, enfatizando a importância do território na obra. As raízes, que envolvem a paisagem e a transformam em outros elementos subterrâneos, sugerem uma conexão profunda com a terra e a riqueza da natureza no Amazonas.

A pintura apresenta uma paisagem abstrata onde podemos observar a superfície e a profundidade da terra e suas raízes. As raízes parecem envolver a paisagem, transformando-se em outros elementos subterrâneos e, até mesmo, em nuvens. Assim, a paisagem torna-se uma ponte entre o que está acima e o que está embaixo, representando a conexão entre os mundos humanos e não humanos. Isso poderia estar relacionado com as cosmologias Indígenas do Amazonas, que enfatizam a interconexão de todos os elementos da natureza.
