Mountains cut layer by layer to form human figures, we review how the art of this architect and plastic artist from Costa Rica works.
Paper airplanes, paper boats, paper flowers. Something a bit basic about origami that quickly became left behind in the career of Ale Rambar, a Costa Rican artist who has made the world of cellulose his favorite material to create, excuse the redundancy, worlds, and to be able to travel with them, opening places for dialogue and creating LGBT metaphors.


About Ale Rambar's technique
But his reliefs have the intense characteristic of topography. Using his architectural studies, Rambar creates three-dimensional pieces, creating three-dimensional portraits as if his models were mountains, valleys, rivers. An art made layer by layer and assembled by hand that serves to talk about topics as diverse as, in his most recent collections, Tolerance (2018), Freedoms (2019) and Chasing Pearls (2019), queer ideals, machismo, sexual diversity and gender issues.


About Ale Rambar's beginnings
His idea, however, came to him thinking of his childhood, of how, as a child, he imagined the mountains he saw in national parks with human forms. He has visited many galleries in his country and always tries to convey that message of social peace and respect between the individual and nature (and his own nature).
