Constanza is much more than an artist and psychologist with an emphasis on community social work. She is a creator of emotional worlds and a weaver of deep connections. She is an expert in pedagogy for the development of autonomous learning, an unwavering educational researcher, and a guide in university classrooms.
Her soul beats to the rhythm of art, a motor that propels her days and nights. Her heart vibrates to the rhythm of colors and shapes, influenced by masters like Jacanamijoy, Monet, Kandinsky, and Paul Klee. These visionaries awakened artistic curiosity in her, opening doors to avant-garde movements such as surrealism, abstract expressionism, impressionism, and cubism.
Since then, her path has been woven with strokes of paint and emotions captured on canvases. Each brushstroke is an echo of her sensitivity, a testament to humanization and respect for the world around her. In her palette, abstract, realistic, expressionist, and fauvist currents converge, dancing in harmony to create surprising synergies of textures and materials.
Animals and nature are her constant muses, endless sources of inspiration. But it is in the eyes of these beings where she finds her most powerful tool: the ability to humanize through a gaze. Each brushstroke, each detail, is an effort to translate emotions into forms, thus creating a universal language that transcends barriers.
She is the bridge between art and psychology, between brushstrokes and emotions. Her work is not only a visual expression but also a profound reflection of human complexity and the beauty that lies in every corner of our existence. Each canvas is a testimony to the power of art to transform, connect, and move.
Yuruparí» represents an intriguing departure from the previous works of the talented artist Constanza Arévalo. This subtle shift is not only evident in her pictorial technique but also in the profound immersion into the intricacies of her artwork and the rich mythic and spiritual significance of this series.
«Yuruparí is the primal force shaping the universe and breathing life into it. In essence, it’s everything.»
How do we grasp that every living being holds a hint of human essence? How do we sense the symbiotic Human-Animal connection through their eyes?
Constanza Arévalo understands this ancestral link. Her art takes us on a sensory voyage through time and space, immersing us in Yuruparí’s vastness—forests, rivers, plains, deserts, and skies within her brushstrokes.
Her work blends impressionist, expressionist, and fauvist strokes, alive with colors and textures, subjectively revealing the Human-Animal core.
According to Amazon’s Makuna tribe cosmogony, «all beings carry a human spiritual essence, hence they’re seen as people.»
This idea aligns with the artist, focusing on eyes and their profound gazes. As she says, «Through eyes, we glimpse humans’ invisible, the soul; gaze, a primal communication form.»
Her art unites through eyes and their gaze, where each piece’s essence emerges, orbiting around eyes and their deep spiritual weight.
«Yuruparí» departs from her prior work, emphasizing detail and the collection’s mythical, spiritual significance.
For this, she names it «Yuruparí,» a name not just catchy, but profoundly meaningful.
«Acquiring Constanza Arévalo’s pictorial works is an unmissable opportunity to capture the emotion and beauty of her creativity on every canvas.»
«My art aims to capture the essence and connections that bind all forms of life onto a canvas, capturing the beauty that lies in the interplay between humans and nature.»
Constanza Arevalo.
Oil paintings on canvas are like windows to imaginary worlds, where colors dance in harmony and emotions come to life with every brushstroke
