Sand, Green, Pink and Purple Tiles epitomizes Lina Puerta’s artistic practice of exploring the systems that comprise the human and natural world. The work serves as a map seeped in magical realism, with patterns and lattices that resemble both a bustling city grid and the scales of a reptile. Neutral-toned color blocks add a layer of complexity to the piece, as the viewer’s eyes are drawn throughout the intricate layers of the etching.
