Amazonian Neighbourhood in Flood | Artwork on paper

Description

Amazonian Neighbourhood in Flood is a mixed media on canvas in which Arturo Laime portrays a popular district of Iquitos, Peru, during the annual flooding season. Wooden houses, elevated on stilts or adapted to the rising waters, line a street transformed into a canal, while residents move about in small canoes. The composition follows a central perspective, guiding the eye toward the horizon where the vivid blue sky contrasts with the warm, vibrant façades of the dwellings.

The expressive use of color and strong brushstrokes convey both the vitality of the neighborhood and the tension of living in an environment where nature constantly reshapes the urban landscape. Rhythmic textures and chromatic contrasts evoke a sense of precariousness and resilience, reflecting how community life persists even under challenging conditions.

This work is part of Laime’s ongoing Amazonia series, where the artist draws on personal memories of the region to explore the relationship between human life and the natural environment. Through these pieces, he highlights memory, identity, and ecology, underscoring the cultural and symbolic significance of the Amazonian landscape within his artistic journey.
