A pictorial journey to the heart of Amazonia

Theexhibition takes you on a journey through the Amazon rainforest, guided byAurélia Fronty's singular vision. To conceive this work, the artist immersed herself in the symbols of Brazilian and South American culture, studying ornamental details, textiles and indigenous visual traditions. She also drew on artistic references such as Douanier Rousseau and Matisse, whose floral and tropical worlds resonate with her own.

The illustrations abound with motifs that pay homage to mythological tales, elemental forces and the sacred bond between children and nature. The jaguar, a powerful animal-totem, becomes a spiritual guide in an initiatory adventure where fire symbolizes danger, light and transformation.
