Arañas del Paraíso, 2024

Maria Fernanda Cardoso

With companies and institutions, works from the fund live for seasons of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. See the program

Artist's proof of one of her peacock spiders of the genus Maratus, photographed in pigmented light like a living jewel. The Arañas del Paraíso series belongs to a career of more than three decades that crosses art and science.

Curatorial reading

Scale changes the way you look: an animal a few millimeters long fills an image more than a meter and a half wide.

An interpretation by Daleki Art, not a statement by the artist.
