Artwork Description

DANIELA MEJIA Colombia, 1957   SANCTUARIES In Daniela Mejía’s work, landscapes become sanctuaries of contemplation, where nature is not something to be owned but a space we inhabit and observe with reverence. Her detailed paintings and drawings evoke the immensity of the natural world, inviting us to pause and admire its quiet grandeur. Through expansive compositions, Mejía captures the movement of water in rivers, seas, clouds, and mist—each element flowing seamlessly, dissolving into the horizon. Lush vegetation, soft reflections, and delicate brushstrokes create a sense of stillness, enhancing the meditative quality of her work. Rooted in Slow Art, her process is one of patience and presence, aligning with the Roman proverb *Festina Lente*—hurry up, slowly. Her landscapes are more than places; they are emotional and spiritual refuges, reminding us that only by truly connecting with nature can we understand that it is not separate from us—it is part of our very Being.
