Exhibition “Colombian Bird Color Revelations – Revelaciones”

From 1 August, Daugavpils Culture Palace will host the exhibition “Colombian Bird Color Revelations – Revelaciones” by Colombian multidisciplinary artist Sergio Mantilla Soler. The exhibition offers visitors a unique insight into the interaction between art, science, and technology, exploring the differences between human and bird vision.

The exhibition is part of the project “Revelaciones Cromáticas de Aves Colombianas – Develando la Cartografía del Vuelo”, which is based on the idea of revealing invisible colours. While humans perceive the world through trichromatic vision, many bird species can also see ultraviolet light. Using digital technology, this invisible world of colour is transformed into a visual experience.

“Hidden Chromatic Revelations” is an art project dedicated to the birdlife of Colombia—one of the richest in the world. Colombia is home to the greatest diversity of bird species on Earth,” says Sergio Mantilla Soler.

Honorary Consul of the Republic of Colombia Roberts Binde notes that the artist’s works have been presented at more than 70 international exhibitions worldwide, including Dubai EXPO, Berlin Science Week, and Beijing Design Week. Following its successful presentation in Riga, the exhibition continues its journey across Latvia and will be on display in Daugavpils throughout August, offering residents of the Latgale region and visitors to the city the opportunity to experience it.

The exhibition has been organized in cooperation with the Embassy of Colombia in Poland, the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Colombia in Riga, and the digital marketing agency Ardor. Its aim is to introduce visitors to Colombia’s rich natural heritage and biodiversity while fostering interest in the country’s cultural and natural treasures.
