Description
In Chiva Life Tree, a sprawing blue tree trunk with flowing branches populated with red, orange, and yellow lantana flowers and green leaves is visited by 8 colorful butterflies and 5 green tree frogs on a black background.
The ornamental and decorative Chiva artform celebrates the lives of the people of South America, specifically Colombia in the form of art on rural bus transportation provided to its people for the last 90 years. Chiva artwork is characterized by circles, lines and a variety of geometric shapes used to describe depictions of animals and plants in bright colors and outlines.
Since childhood with a fondness for not only nature but all decorative design--I too celebrate and embrace this artform, in over 40 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.
