Biophilia and art

Nature as inspiration

Exceptional essay, Biophilia and art narrates, through art, the human ambivalence between the search and the disagreement with nature.

It could be summarized in part of the title of the first chapter: this book is a dialogue with the living, with ours and with the author, with history and science, with what we perceive and transforms.

The work of the Colombian painter Duván López is the initial kick of a journey that reviews our odyssey on earth: from Pythagoras to the Museum of the Future in Dubai; from Boticelli to the questions for AI, persistent unknowns that mobilize humanity.

With a patient and warm cadence, Koncha Pinós prepares us to give us a wonder.

«(…) the state of slow listening that I learned from the emberá, staying still by a tree until he spoke first: sometimes it took hours, sometimes days, but when it happened, it was clear, like a pulse, like a yes that vibrates in the blood. That’s the frequency I want to grow now. Not with urgency, not with protocol, but with truth, with roots, as if we were cultivating the inner field where art can be born.»

📘 About the book

Biophilia and ART is a work that intertwines neuroaesthetics, art, psychology and nature, seeking to recover a more sensitive, more lively, more connected look with the essentials.

Throughout her pages, the author explores the transforming power of aesthetic perception and contemplation, analyzing the work of great creators such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Georgia O’Keeffe, Gauguin, Monet, and especially it is a deep reflection of the work of the Colombian artist Duván López. His Jungles and Forests series is a sensory and symbolic experience that dialogues with deep psychology, archetypes and the memory of the ancestral landscape. How Biophilia and Art emerged, all its phases from creation, research and installation
