Water

Solo Exhibition

Capri, Italy

September 1-24, 2016

 

WATER is an exhibition that explores the urgent and complex relationship between humanity and water, addressing critical issues such as pollution, scarcity, and the devastating impact of climate change. Through my mixed media works—crafted with epoxy resin, acrylic paint, and photographs—I capture the fragility and resilience of water in the face of environmental destruction. The swirling, fluid forms in my pieces evoke oil spills contaminating oceans, acid rain corroding landscapes, and the irreversible damage caused by industrial waste. At the same time, the textures and layers suggest the power of hurricanes, the parched cracks of drought-stricken lands, and the ever-growing tension between abundance and depletion.

This body of work serves as a visual dialogue on how water, an essential life force, is now at risk due to human negligence. The glossy, almost glass-like surfaces of my pieces mimic the deceptive beauty of toxic waters, while embedded photographs document the harsh realities of our changing world. Each artwork acts as a mirror, reflecting both nature’s magnificence and the consequences of our actions. My intention is to provoke awareness and inspire action, urging viewers to consider their role in the preservation of this invaluable resource. WATER is not just an exhibition—it is a call to recognize water’s vulnerability and fight for its protection before it’s too late.

Beyond its environmental crisis, water holds an undeniable beauty and rhythm, especially in the vast, ever-moving ocean. Waves crash and recede, carrying both destruction and renewal, mirroring the delicate balance between nature’s power and its fragility. The ocean’s surface is constantly shifting, much like our own impact on the planet—sometimes calm and reflective, other times turbulent and unrelenting. In my work, I seek to capture this duality, the hypnotic pull of the tide and the unseen threats lurking beneath. Water, in all its forms, demands our attention—not only for survival but for the awe it continues to inspire.
