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 />
