Native Americans - Indigenas
An ode to the inseparable bond between humanity and nature
Guardians of earth's heritage
In the series „Native Americans – Indigenas“, Eva Bur am Orde sheds light on the deeply rooted spirituality and wisdom of the indigenous peoples of North and South America. Through powerful portraits and earthy tones like reddish-brown and vibrant orange, she delves into the ways of life of these cultures and gives expression to their profound connection with nature. These works are a reverent homage to the traditions and values of native peoples, serving as a poignant reminder and source of inspiration in an era marked by the escalating exploitation of nature.
Eva Bur am Orde captures the soul of these cultures by embedding their faces and symbolism into a clear, sacred visual language. Her depictions of Native Americans from North America are subtly influenced by the photographs of ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis, reflected in the delicate lines and intense color combinations that symbolize inner strength and reverence for creation. The portraits stand as witnesses of a world that reminds us of the wisdom we risk losing when harmony with nature fades.
With „Native Americans – Indigenas“, Bur am Orde creates a visual bridge between past and present. This series is not only a tribute to indigenous peoples but also a call to reflect on ourselves and our relationship with the Earth. By bringing the values of these cultures to the forefront, the artist invites us to honor and preserve this spiritual heritage—one that can guide us toward a sustainable and respectful future.
