This work has been developed around the contrasting images of the Atacama Desert in the artist’s native country, Chile. The sea in the west and the volcanic mountains in the east are both captured at different times and in different media and brought together. The FC2 is a digital fusion of two original art works by Acevedo: a black and white photograph taken in the Tatio Geysers in January 2017, with part of a diptych oil painting Misty Coast based on the Atacama seacoast in 2006. On describing her art, Acevedo has said: “ When I work I search for that place inside myself where I can find stillness. Once there, I connect profoundly with everything around me. Physical forms then vanish, leaving space for colours and textures. I am one with all that is.”
