Artist Statement: Inspired by the colors of the Uruguayan flag, white and blue gradients would cover the Beaver’s entered body. The Sun of May is the main character and since the run represent freedom and independence, it is accompanied by a group of running horses, one of the most common animal in Uruguay. Surrounding the body, there is also Durante flowers, which are very common in Uruguay. On the ball appears the famous “firulete oriental” ornamental design that are easily recognizable on the streets.
Artist Bio: La Pupila is a Colombian artist based in Toronto. Her art focuses on exploring feminine energy, often with an aura of melancholy. Through symbols, distorted forms and evocative faces, she hopes to illustrate her fears, hopes and desire for a tender world.
While her work is deeply personal, La Pupila approaches these themes with a poetic and gentle visual language, creating space for introspection and connection. It is an exploration of memory, emotions and the transformative power of symbols.
