Arte Chiquitano

Vivian Reimers is a Bolivian architect and interior designer whose brand is based on her heritage. By associating with Cris Acevedo Studio, a Brazilian ceramic fabricator, she accomplished to create the “Arte Chiquitano” collection.  She is also inspired by the Chiquitanía’s churches angelical attributes, seen throughout her sculpture work. The symbology behind her art lies in the history of the Spanish colonization of the lands of the Chiquitanía, in which Jesuit missionaries arrived to build and establish churches. This territory is currently located in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Their work seeks to shed a light on the signs of communication which human beings rely on to connect with each other: “to inform, to lie, to betray, dominate and liberate.”
