In the face of an escalating environmental crisis, this series of paintings seeks to bring the deep—and often forgotten—relationship between humanity and nature back to the center of attention. These works question the pillars of modernity by examining how science, technology, and capitalism have, in many ways, justified the exploitation and destruction of the natural world in the pursuit of progress.

 

In modern discourse, imagination has been diminished and relegated to the realm of fantasy, thereby severed from truth, while reason alone has been regarded as the path to knowledge. According to the philosopher Gilbert Durand, imagination is the link between the world and humankind and can therefore serve as a tool for generating new knowledge. This exhibition boldly reclaims the power of imagination and proposes it as an essential instrument for rediscovering the inherent magic of reality—a magic that rationalism has often overlooked.

 

By weaving together creativity and critical thinking, these paintings offer a vision of a world in which humans and nature coexist in harmony. The artworks invite us to explore this alternative path, one that fosters a horizontal, respectful, and deeply interconnected relationship with the natural world, grounded in wonder, imagination, and a renewed sense of reverence for our surroundings. In an era of ecological urgency, this journey of imagination and magic is of vital importance.
