Description

South American Chiva artwork is characterized by the creation of circles, lines and a variety of geometric shapes and used to describe depictions of animals and plants in bright colors and outlines. This artform can be found decorating rural transportation buses in Colombia and Bolivia and has been in existence for over 90 years. The whimsical image I have created celebrates the interconnectivity of biodiversity found in tropical rainforests. Shown in this mandala are 4 facing pairs of Keel-billed Toucans with their colorful long bills blue legs and feet and red rumps, Ramphastos sulfuratus. Found outside the ring are 4 exotic fantasy blue butterflies inspired by blue morpho butterflies. 4 brown underwing moths with colorful hind wings when spread apart, and 4 facing pairs of red Loricaria plecostomus suckermouth catfish, Hypostomus are all shown in this colorful and creative garden of white flower blossoms with orange, yellow and black centers providing nectar to the insects, and sprouting orange mangoes with surrounding green leaves a favorite food of toucans. In the center of this image is a cool blue round pond with blue line dot water streams, pointing outward, that sustains all of them in this tropical rainforest biodiversity nature mandala. You can find many more plants and animals decorated with inventive ornamental indigenous designs on my website phelpsmandala.com. Celebrate biodiversity and all that Mother Nature provides.
