APPEARING TOGETHER, Genealogy of a syndrome. Series, oil on linen, 65 x 55 cm. 2/10. 2025–2026.

A re-examination of Dutch colonial interests in Latin America and the Caribbean through the official paintings of Albert Eckhout, Frans Post, and other historiographical sources, tracing a possible genealogy of the concept of “Dutch Syndrome” and its repercussions in the contemporary world.

Dutch syndrome is a term used to refer to a macroeconomic phenomenon that affects mono-exporting countries that depend on the exploitation of non-renewable resources, provoking a foreign currency income shock that modifies their productive structure, causing unsustainable economic growth in the long term.
