FEATURED ARTIST<br />

Organic abstraction and <strong>the</strong> preservation of<br />

nature <strong>in</strong> art<br />

“Creat<strong>in</strong>g designs that nature reveals to me. Express<strong>in</strong>g myself through my textures, br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g<br />

back alive part of God’s creation,” says Ana<br />

- Exclusive to <strong>Magzoid</strong><br />

Ana Liz Cordero is a talented artist who<br />

has a deep connection with nature<br />

and its preservation. Her Ecuadorian<br />

heritage and childhood experiences<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> prov<strong>in</strong>ces of Azuay and Cañar have<br />

<strong>in</strong>spired her to create works that reflect her<br />

admiration for <strong>the</strong> Incan people and <strong>the</strong>ir susta<strong>in</strong>able<br />

way of liv<strong>in</strong>g. Ana Liz’s fasc<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

with <strong>the</strong> Incan culture and <strong>the</strong>ir use of natural<br />

resources has shaped her identity as an artist.<br />

She believes <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> unity of man, nature, and<br />

creator and <strong>in</strong>corporates positive messages<br />

<strong>in</strong> her work that allow viewers to imag<strong>in</strong>e, feel,<br />

and remember what was and is our nature.<br />

Abstraction is a key feature of Ana Liz’s work,<br />

and she uses elements from <strong>the</strong> UAE area that<br />

she f<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> desert, sea, and mounta<strong>in</strong>s.<br />

She seeks materiality for her works and f<strong>in</strong>ds<br />

a source of deeper <strong>in</strong>spiration <strong>in</strong> nature. Ana<br />

Liz takes <strong>in</strong>spiration from various artists, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth,<br />

Michelangelo Buonarroti, and land art. Her<br />

work cont<strong>in</strong>uously mixes layer after layer of<br />

various natural materials that she f<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>in</strong> her<br />

local area, giv<strong>in</strong>g her abstract works a sense<br />

of depth and sculptural quality.<br />

Ana Liz’s images capture <strong>the</strong> essence of<br />

nature that she calls “organic abstraction,”<br />

reflect<strong>in</strong>g her desire to connect with <strong>the</strong> spiritual<br />

through art. She uses a monochrome palette<br />

to communicate <strong>the</strong> essence of nature, emphasiz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>the</strong> shapes and movement of <strong>the</strong><br />

landscapes that <strong>in</strong>form her work. Her work is<br />

not flat, as she emphasizes <strong>the</strong> importance of<br />

movement <strong>in</strong> life. Ana Liz cont<strong>in</strong>uously explores<br />

and experiments with alternative and more<br />

natural ways of creat<strong>in</strong>g art, f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g new ideas<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> desert, mounta<strong>in</strong>s, birds, and plants.<br />

Ana Liz’s work reflects her passion for nature<br />

and aims to promote a practice of care<br />

through its enhancement and preservation <strong>in</strong><br />

her pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs. She believes <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> importance<br />

of car<strong>in</strong>g for <strong>the</strong> environment and us<strong>in</strong>g every<br />

m<strong>in</strong>imal resource, as demonstrated by <strong>the</strong> Incan<br />

people she encountered <strong>in</strong> her childhood. Ana<br />

Liz’s work is a testament to <strong>the</strong> beauty and<br />

importance of nature and its preservation, and<br />

her art serves as a rem<strong>in</strong>der of our connection<br />

to <strong>the</strong> environment and our responsibility to<br />

care for it.<br />
