"The 'Semillas', or 'Seeds', are the archeology of rural and urban fantasies. Receivers and transmitters of stories. Their journeys from the countryside to the city, and to cyberspace in their documentation, are machinery for manufacturing shared and collective myths. They are, and I say this with vehemence, an inevitable spell that is planted in the memory of those who encounter them."

Leon Tovar Gallery represents Jaime Miranda-Bambarén.
Jaime Miranda-Bambarén (b. 1982, Lima, Peru) is an artist deeply immersed in the art of working with wood, viewing it as a material brimming with life, steeped in history, and intimately connected to humanity for its capacity to encapsulate experiences. Miranda-Bambarén's creations, referred to as "Semillas" or ("Seeds"), manifest as nearly spherical shapes that forge a direct connection not only with the organic realm but also with the cultural and spiritual dimensions, integral to Peru's essence and energy.
