Muted marble bursts of colour appear across the thick opaque cloud cover, releasing sweet petal pinks and violets. Each one emerges as if there are soft footprints pattering across faint stepping stones of billowing mesh, swiftly swallowed up as the clouds collide in the breeze.
This work is based on a symbolic and surreal language that explores the coexistence between the human, the animal, and the fantastical in a setting that defies the laws of logic. The figures are placed in an aquatic environment, a transitional space that suggests both the emotional and the subconscious, surrounded by elements that evoke a dreamlike theater. The central characters, with animal heads and symbolic objects, represent the connection between the instinctive and the rational, while details like the blossoming branches, the clock, and the suspended objects allude to the passage of time, memory, and the fragility of existence. The composition frames the characters between curtains, reinforcing the idea of a theatrical stage where a narrative unfolds, full of hidden meanings. The use of vibrant color and precision in the details highlight the tension between the tangible and the imaginary, creating a dialogue between nature, symbolism, and human emotions. The work invites the viewer to interpret and reflect on their relationship with the elements that compose it, opening a space to question the dynamics between the real and the fantastical, the intimate and the universal.
This artwork reflects on the return and coexistence with animals, birds, and insects in a world where nature and human life intertwine in a dance of harmony. However, this scenario is not exempt from the visual and conceptual saturation that defines our era. The piece serves as a mirror of our time, where images from television screens, cell phones, and vintage video games invade everyday spaces, creating a superimposition of realities that challenge our perception. The setting of the artwork unfolds as a theater of infinite possibilities, where the absurd ceases to be a marginal concept and becomes the driving force of our existence. Here, the illogical and the fantastical coexist with the mundane, forming a universe where anything can happen. This apparent visual chaos invites us to question the nature of our interaction with the environment and digital media, exploring how these images shape us and make us reflect on our own identity and relationship with the world. Animals, birds, and insects symbolize a return to the essential, to the organic and instinctive, while references to vintage games and technological elements evoke nostalgia and the impact of digital narratives on our lives. The artwork becomes a space for dialogue between the natural and the artificial, between the tangible and the virtual, where life together is enriched and transformed through these multiple layers of meaning. As a whole, this piece celebrates the human capacity to find meaning in the unexpected and the irrational, reminding us that the richness of existence lies in embracing and inhabiting contrasts. It invites us to look beyond the screens, toward a horizon where the absurd is not only possible but necessary for living fully.
This work reflects on the delicate balance between nature and human presence, taking as its starting point a phenomenon observed during the pandemic: the return of birds, along with other animals and insects, to spaces that had been occupied and transformed by humans. In a world on pause, where cities fell silent and human activities came to an almost complete halt, nature began to reclaim its place. This return of birds, with their songs and flights, became a symbol of resilience, reminding us that the natural environment endures even in the face of our constant intervention. The work captures this moment of rediscovery, where the absence of humans allowed wildlife to flourish in places that once seemed lost forever.
