Mint Green Tiled Texture epitomizes Lina Puerta’s artistic practice of exploring the form, composition, and delicacy of urban living and its interconnectedness to the natural world. Puerta focuses on the systems and syntax that comprise the human and natural world, whether anatomically, industrially, or mechanically. There is tension, overlap, and a similar chaos and order between the two worlds. This print focuses on layers and surfaces at both a macro and a micro level. City grid lines mirror reptilian scales, and a sense of magical realism underscores the formal composition of a map.
