In the works of Ana Violeta, the spirit of the earth, the sidereal and the ancestral converge, since she uses natural pigments from substrates and muds of lakes, deserts, forests and jungles, as well as rock formations. From them she obtains the shades of the primordial Gea, the interstellar space and the colorful caves of the Stone Age. With them she creates fertile territories, cultivates landscapes and sows abstract beings. Undoubtedly, her pieces are pictorial geographies that are composed of both organic and inorganic elements, the same that make up our body. Likewise, they enjoy the expressive force contained in the origin of life, in the intact humus and in the soul of everything that exists on the face of the Earth. In other words, from primitive sludge, which spawned the first organisms on the planet, the author makes art.
