Description
Our eco-trip has taken us into a Chiva Colombian rainforest. The sun is shining in the blue sky with a few puffy clouds. Up in the trees on the left are two colorful long billed toucans chattering with 2 scarlet large beaked macaws on the right across the flower patch below. Red flower blossoms with green stems and leaves, that grow in bunches along the riverbank, are visited by 3 exotic birdwing butterflies and an underwing moth. Below the water, 3 brown and 1 blue sailfin Plecostomus, or Hypostomus, sucker mouth catfish swim along side 2 orange-faced green-whiskered Corydoras catfish that are blowing air bubbles. In the distance we see a striking and inviting horizon.
The ornamental and decorative Chiva artform celebrates the lives of the people of South America, specifically Colombia and the form of rural bus transportation provided to those people for the last 90 years. Chiva artwork is characterized by circles, lines and a variety of geometric shapes and used to describe depictions of animals and plants in bright colors and outlines.
Since childhood with a fondness for not only nature but decorative design--I too celebrate and embrace this artform, in over 30 examples, along with that of Native American and other indigenous cultures in many of my nature inspired mandala and rectangular images that can be found in multiple collections on my website phelpsmandala.com. I hope you will find my nature art FINE art and FUN art!
