“South American Animals” is a collection of four watercolor illustrations that explore the continent’s diversity through a sensitive and critical perspective on the relationship between humans and nature. Through a delicate and expressive technique, the series highlights the beauty, fragility, and resilience of emblematic species inhabiting diverse South American ecosystems.
The collection brings together the spectacled bear, the only bear species native to the region, whose survival is threatened by habitat fragmentation; the sloth, a symbol of slowness and adaptation, affected by illegal wildlife trafficking and deforestation; the jaguar, a major predator and key regulator of ecosystems, currently classified as near threatened; and the alpaca, a domesticated species for thousands of years, whose exploitation reveals tensions between tradition, economy, and animal welfare.
Beyond naturalistic representation, these works propose a reflection on the ways humans coexist with other species, emphasizing the consequences of human intervention in ecological balance. The use of watercolor as a medium—characterized by its low environmental impact, minimal material consumption, and water-based processes—reinforces the conceptual framework of the series. Its organic and fluid nature evokes the ephemeral, the living, and the vulnerable, aligning the technique itself with an environmentally conscious artistic practice.
