ABOUT
Ale Rambar is a Costa Rican artist who’s work is based on the topographic analysis of the human form through three dimensional compositions made with layers of paper. Rambar’s pieces are created by analyzing human bodies topographically, just like a topographer would analyze mountains, valleys or rivers.
Each piece is cut separately, layer by layer and then assembled by hand to create “human topographies”. This technique was developed by Rambar throughout his career as an architect. He found a fascination with topographic maps, their sinuosity and their ability to be transformed into three-dimensional elements.
This artistic technique is used to talk about tolerance, respect among us and respect for the planet. These art pieces seek to open spaces for dialogue in favor of respect and tolerance of all humans.
In the last 5 years Rambar’s work has been presented in Costa Rica’s National Gallery, Costa Rica’s Central Bank Museum, Cartago Museum, and in multiple biennales, such as the Beijing International Art Biennale. Rambar also created the Award for Gender Equality presented by the European Union in Costa Rica, created a design that Costa Rica’s Olympic team wore during the Inauguration of the Olympics of Rio de Janeiro.
