Inspired by the connection with the land where we live, our environment surrounded by rivers,
exuberant nature and natural fauna, we have decided to bring together our different sensibilities to
talk about our terroir, about that game that the river plays with the sun, about the colors that mix
with the incessant singing of the birds.
It is our Uruguay, a Guaraní word that means “river of painted birds.” Nature speaks to us, our senses
are turned on and through our artistic work we have set out to investigate and imagine the gaze of
these indigenous people, their sensations, their myths and beliefs. How does everything mix
between yesterday and today in a place that is the same despite the years?
 
We are three female visual artists from the city of Dolores, we live in the rural environment of the
department of Soriano in Uruguay. We work collectively to promote art to and from our community.
We do this through group exhibitions, supporting individual initiatives of members of the collective,
responding to cultural events in the city and giving support to artists who come to Dolores.
It is important for us to visit schools, high schools, as well as open our studios to visitors.
Regarding the Artistic Invasion Collective exhibitions, we show individual work working on the theme
collectively. Currently we have been experiencing the creation of collective work.
We are interested in topics such as nature, emotions, imagination, our culture and women. We
combine our exhibitions with other arts so we invite writers, musicians and even other visual artists
to be part of our proposals.
