Abel RodrĂguez (Mogaje Guihu) is an elder from the Nonuya ethnic group, native to the CahuinarĂ river in the Colombian Amazon. RodrĂguezâs work is grounded in his ancestral knowledge of the indigenous plants of the region, which was passed to him by his uncle. As a way to preserve his knowledge and memory of his region, RodrĂguez creates detailed paintings and drawings that depict the ecosystem of the rainforest in the Nonuya region with intricate details of the flora and fauna.
