Sedimentos is a series of paintings that explores the landscapes of Venezuela, focusing on scenes from La Guaira, the winding roads that connect Caracas to the airport, and more remote regions such as Tucupita. By drawing attention to areas often overlooked in Venezuela’s national narrative, the works reflect the stark contrast between the country’s extraordinary natural wealth and the inaccessibility of its benefits for most of its people. 

While made from personal photographs, these landscapes may resonate with some viewers as places that evoke memory or a fleeting sense of home. They are fragments of moments paused in time, capturing a shared familiarity yet distancing themselves from any one specific story.

Through vibrant greens and anonymous characters, the series emphasizes the tension between expansiveness and isolation. The vastness of the landscapes stands in contrast to an overwhelming stillness, creating a sense of distance within spaces that seem so near. This duality—a closeness to beauty and a separation from its potential—mirrors the broader socio-political realities of Venezuela. Rich in natural resources yet mired in inequality and disconnection, the country becomes both the backdrop and the subject of these works.
