Concept

Cultura Orquídea, a vision of art, nature and well-being was born as a result of a field experiment around orchids living in the wild in the different ecosystems of Colombia, co-directed by Claudia Isabel Navas and the scientific team of the National Museum of Natural History in 2017. More than 1500 kms have been traveled in the different altitudes of the Andes Mountains observing and studying the complexity of the mechanisms used by orchids to exist in harmony with their environment.

« This symbiosis made me think of the adaptability and flexibility that human beings also demonstrate when they must face various challenges and environments throughout their lives. The memory of my mother and the way she was able to touch the lives of others during their exchanges, however brief these moments were, inspired me to bring together under one banner a series of disciplines aimed at creation, mutual aid, and human support ».
