"This series was inspired by the Araucaria forest in Cariló, a coastal town in Buenos Aires Province known for its unique blend of forest and sea.

The first piece was created for a newly built house in Cariló, with the intention of bringing the surrounding forest atmosphere into the home’s interior. The idea was to let the natural world outside continue seamlessly within.

The series began with a palette grounded in greens, yellows, and blues, reflecting the local landscape. However, as I progressed, I felt compelled to explore new tones. That’s how the oranges, pinks, and burgundy hues emerged—colours that began to evoke different seasons: spring, summer, and autumn.

I feel a profound connection to the botanical world. There is something in nature that resonates deeply within me, something that pulses through my being. I experience an ongoing dialogue with nature—its stillness and chaos, its light and movement—all of which fill me with energy and a powerful urge to translate those sensations into my art.

My work is a reflection of how nature makes me feel. Capturing and conveying those feelings is what I continually strive for in my paintings." - Andrea Varotto
