Loreto Riveros

Volcanic rocks are formed from magma and minerals found in volcanos and they are basically sediments of an explosion (that could have happened millions, thousands of years ago). This is a project about found “precious” objects -the paintings consist of small volcanic stones taken from an active volcano, amplified in photography/digitally manipulated and portrayed in oil painting as if they were the most important objects in the world. My “models” address the fragility of nature and its resilience to survive at the same time. Oil on canvas, 30x30 inches each.
