A permanent installation artwork created for the Vallarta Botanical Gardens,  This unique asynchronous pattern sources materials from hundreds of photographs taken by the artists in the gardens at different times of year -- as well as historic watercolors and lithographs by Mexican botanist, Rafael Montes de Oca and English ornithologist John Gould. The extraordinary flora and fauna naturalized by this exotic setting is embellished into the interior spaces of the chapel and contextualized by never ending merging colorfields. The frame for the art is the building itself. The wall behind the altar represents daytime, and the opposite wall represents night. The title “Los Angelitos…” is in honor of the hummingbirds and pollinators - the little angels. The artwork is a modern day fresco made with watercolor inks biodegradable fabric. When standing in the middle of the chapel you are within a spectrum of color  from night to day. It is very likely that you will discover some of the same plants in bloom around the garden if you look carefully.

The extraordinary flora and fauna naturalized by this exotic setting is permanently embellished into the interior spaces of the chapel and contextualized by never ending organically merging colorfields. The natural world turned inside out.
