Mother of Time

Fernando Pinto’s Mother of Time (2021) is inspired by an aboriginal concept from the Kogi tribe in Colombia, in which very small stones with bead-like forms are believed to have been made by the minds of distant ancestors and are the carriers of their cultural concept of time: “time never ends or begins, it’s always happening and every second is an eternal cicle in itself”.

Pinto’s sculptural works reflect his interests in the similarities that can be found between these ancestral and primitive concepts and the most advanced scientific discoveries.
