OCCASIONAL LANDSCAPES
SAMUEL RIERA
We join the artist on a journey of discovery to a world where precise, multi-layered, dimensional paper collages, often cut from fashion magazines, spring to life as the thriving inhabitants of Planeta Sandra. She manages to blend the whimsical and the sensual, the threatening and the sublime as she recounts the mythological folklore of a primordial world not that far from our own.
With an explorer’s eye and a botanist’s discipline, Sandra meticulously catalogs each Sandremios by genus and species as specimens deserving of further study.
In these collages, I deconstruct everyday forms to create new narratives.
Through the use of nature, science and whimsy, I invent new landscapes and environments in a visual language that is uniquely my own.
-Sandra Cordero
As curator and philosopher, Luis Ramaggio, observes, “As any respected expeditionist, she quietly observes and classifies. As a visionary. As a hungry expert. As a mentalist. Lurking around her own self, and wandering through her habits and personality, Sandra discovers that she herself is a world.”

DIONNYS MATOS
Growing up near the sea and the countryside, Dionnys (b. Holguín, Cuba 1991) developed a love for nature and an immediate sensitivity to it. This greatly influenced how he saw the world and inclined him in a general way towards art. His series, Sit a Minute, comprised of individual portraits of chairs in a variety of styles and colors, draws on multiple concepts related to the empty chair.
“The empty chair represents what we are missing or who is no longer in our lives. It is a technique used in psychotherapy primarily to cope with loss. It is a form of dialogue with the absence, a rest, a taking a minute to talk with what we long for. The chair, for me too, is an exercise of nostalgia.”
He is currently working on new plastic projects that promote recycling, raise awareness of environmental care and make an almost poetic resistance against excessive consumption.
The artist currently lives and works in Bogotá, Columbia.
