NEW NEO-TROPICAL VEXILOLOGY
2011
Gouaches on paper, series of 120 paintings.
Each one of these gouaches is based on the pattern of the wing of a butterfly from the Neo-tropical region. They have been synthesized and redrawn to adapt to the format of a flag. As a flag traditionally stands for land, heritage, language, a common character and a warning against aggression, the pattern of a butterfly wing signals belonging to a lineage, a territory, warns of a level of toxicity and displays desirability.
