Struggle for the LandPedro Nel Gómez
This fresco (1935–38) shows peasants forcing oxen through flooded Antioquian fields, symbolizing the conquest of nature for agriculture. Their straining bodies embody toil and ambition. At right, La Llorona appears as mythic grief, evoking the spiritual and ecological costs of rural modernization. The scene captures Colombia’s tension between tradition and progress.
