FUERZA – MARC FOLONI , 2018
Watercolor of Andean pigments and India ink on paper
(40cm × 30cm)
'Fuerza' emerges as the culmination of two months of intensive research conducted at popular fairs in villages nestled within the mountainous expanse of Carhuaz, Peru. Renowned artist Marc Foloni masterfully captured the essence of his experience in vibrant watercolors, utilizing natural Andean pigments traditionally employed by local peasants for wool dyeing. This series, 'Fuerza,' serves as a reflective canvas, portraying the profound sensations that permeated the artist throughout this creative journey.
With delicate wefts and iconic expressions, the artworks within 'Fuerza' are characterized by vivid colors derived from Andean pigments, creating a striking contrast with the dark tones of India ink. The complexity of this collection lies in the harmonious interplay of bright hues and deep contrasts, resulting in a visually compelling exploration of the artist's connection with the cultural and natural elements of Carhuaz.
