OTHER ANIMAL SERIES

In my Other Animals series, I explore the beauty, strength, and mystery of the creatures that share our world. Whether through the quiet gaze of a deer, the grace of a fox, or the calm presence of a turtle, each painting becomes a reflection of nature’s emotion and intelligence.

These works emerge from my fascination with movement, texture, and light, blending realism and abstraction to capture not just the appearance of animals, but their essence.

Through color, geometry, and expressive form, I reveal the connection between all living beings and the harmony that unites them.

The series invites viewers to see animals not as distant subjects, but as symbols of balance, instinct, and inner peace.

Guardians of the Forest

Acrylic on Canvas

In this painting, I explore the delicate balance between nature’s mystery and its vivid vitality. The golden snub-nosed monkeys, with their expressive faces and soft presence, become symbols of innocence, connection, and the quiet wisdom that exists within the natural world.

The abstract background represents the spiritual energy of the forest. Light and shadow merge to evoke both serenity and movement, as if the air itself were alive with emotion.

Through this composition, I wanted to capture the dialogue between realism and abstraction, where the physical and the spiritual coexist. It is a reflection of how I see nature.

Four guanacos standing in a field with mountains in the background

Spirit of the Highlands

24" x 48"

Oil on Canvas

In this painting, I wanted to capture the quiet strength and grace of the guanacos—majestic animals that roam the high Andes, guardians of one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. Their calm presence contrasts with the grandeur of the snow-covered mountains behind them, symbols of endurance and harmony with nature.

The composition reflects my fascination with the connection between realism and emotion. Here brushstroke seeks to evoke not only the light and color of the Andes but also the serenity that exists within these creatures. The clear blue sky and shimmering lake become part of a poetic dialogue between earth and spirit, life and stillness.

Ocelot painting

Ocelot in Motion

24" x 30"

Acrylic on Canvas

In this painting, I wanted to capture the wild elegance and raw intensity of the ocelot, a creature that embodies both beauty and power. Its penetrating gaze and open mouth reveal a moment of instinct.

The warm earth tones blend with soft touches of green and violet to create an atmosphere that feels both natural and mystical. Every brushstroke seeks to express the ocelot’s energy.

Quetzal painting

Song of the Quetzal

30" x 40"

Acrylic on Canvas

In this painting, I celebrate the Resplendent Quetzal, a symbol of beauty, freedom, and mysticism in Latin American nature. Its vibrant turquoise and crimson plumage contrast against the soft greens of the forest, creating a visual harmony that evokes both serenity and wonder.

The composition reflects my fascination with the balance between realism and poetry. Every brushstroke is a tribute to the light that dances between leaves and feathers, to the spirit of life hidden within the forest.

This work invites the viewer to pause and feel the silent majesty of nature.

Painting of a heron standing in water surrounded by greenery and yellow flowers by Cristina Materon

Andean Companions

24" x 48"

Acrylic on Canvas

In this painting, I explore the quiet grace of a heron standing still amid a lush tapestry of greens and yellows. The scene captures a fleeting moment of harmony. The delicate reeds, the mirror-like water, and the poised bird become symbols of balance between fragility and strength.

Through this work, I seek to merge realism and serenity, allowing light, texture, and color to evoke the meditative rhythm of nature. The heron’s stillness is not absence of motion, but presence.
