The book is an important editorial work carried out under the direction of Sylvia Patiño Spitzer comprising the complete trajectory of María Thereza Negreiros (b. Brasil, 1930, lives and works in Cali, Colombia). After her marriage to Colombian architect Ernesto Patiño Barney, she moved to Colombia and settled in Cali, where she has been one of the most important members of the avant-garde and the artistic community. Her work has passed through several stages: The first, using oil on canvas and inspired by the Andean mountains that strongly impressed her, culminated in a search for natural elements, using materials such as soils, sands, the stones at the bottom of streams, and in general, materials that allude to the beginning of things. She represented Colombia with one of these works at the 7th Art Biennial in Sao Paulo in 1963. This was followed by an exploration with new materials, acrylics, fiberglass, glass, a combination of wood and steel, tenses and photographs, with which innovative works are produced. Finally, returning to her origins, she begins to work again with oil on canvas on a theme that she would call the Amazon series, in which she depicts the world of the tropical rain forest, presenting us with a modern and fascinating personal view of the vast universe of the South American forest.
