Alejandraaristizabal Studio

We are one. Mother earth holds us together. The peasant, the CEO, the designer, the artist. Colombian, French, American, African… How can I help open a conversation where this unity is addressed? From my place as an artist I wish to open conversations about nature, social narratives and manual traditions. I aim to connect and open an empathic visual space of communication and reflection. I believe in art with a purpose. Environmental purpose, social purpose, and aesthetic purpose. In the world’s hectic climatic agenda and social disruption, we need to activate a transition towards a sustainable global future, installing cooperation and shifting from unconscious consumerism to conscious decisions, as local actions have global consequences. I want to promote natural resources and materials, like Fique- Furcraea andina - a species native of south american andean region, and one of the Colombian national fibers, main symbol of my artistic work.
