Seeds with Insects

Georgina Quintana presented the exhibition Retratos de la Naturaleza (Portraits of Nature) at the Museum of Art in 2006, leaving testimony with the piece Semillas con insectos (Seeds with Insects), in which she poetically records small organisms like spores, larvae, germinating seeds and flowers, magnified by the lens of her imagination, and—just like Flemish still-life paintings—possess a symbolic language.
To a background made with subtle glazes that give depth to the painting, the artist adds soft brushstrokes to give form to a place where the mystery of the emergence of life is implicit in the luminous atmosphere that envelops it.
