The natural biome of the Pampas region in Argentina is the grassland. Within this biome, the dominant vegetation type is the prairie, followed by the steppe. In this area, five subregions are distinguished: interior Pampas, southern Pampas, Mesopotamian, undulating, and floodable.
Gonzalo is interested in highlighting some species of the region’s wildlife in their natural habitat. “In the grassland, they all do the impossible to be free.” In the work, we can see the Pampas deer, the Southern screamer, the river otter, and the collared peccary.
“From the native flora, I painted the feather duster for its simplicity, elegance, resistance, and rusticity. Everything in nature is connected, that’s why learning from animals is wonderful.”
The Pampas region is an extensive plain, a geographical area located in the center of our country, and is the most productive area in Argentina. It has two mountain systems: Tandilia Mountains and Ventania Mountains. This region is composed of the provinces of Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, La Pampa, Córdoba, Buenos Aires, and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
Conservation problems of natural fauna occur due to hunting and the loss of their natural habitat: the grassland. The artist expresses that this biome is being transformed, converted into crops and commercial forestation. All of this causes an imbalance and displacement of native species, which is why new education is very important.
