Environmentalist art focused on the origin of the human being
The show of Bolivian artist DaNiela LoRini, at the art gallery of CAF, Development Bank of Latin America, reflects what is organic, and the beauty of what is natural as opposed to what is artificial and that which has experienced human intervention
Respect for nature and life was the source of inspiration for the artist from La Paz to conceive the show "Kyanos", at Artespacio, CAF's art gallery in La Paz, starting on June 22nd. The show includes 400 pieces of seven kinds of trees from La Paz and Santa Cruz, recycled by the artist herself.
loRini explained, "With my work I want to invite people to reflect on environmental issues, show that material things are not important. This show is inspired by the cyanobacteria, a unicellular organism which originated every living being. I want people to be able to contemplate their own existence, get rid of material things, and meditate about what is really necessary, a return to the natural principle".
Kyanos was built mainly with organic materials. "I experiment with textures and develop three-dimensionality over bi-dimensional supports" reflects loRini, and emphasizes that the show allows her "to play with space, shapes, light, and even sound, achieving a mix that makes the visitor feel the essence of natural beauty, of what is biological, nature itself, the origin of every living being. I want to generate questioning about the opposition of what is natural with what is artificial, created by human intervention".
The show may be visited at Artespacio CAF, located in Av. Arce Nº 2915, corner of Clavijo (San Jorge area), from 09.00 to 12.00 and from 14.30 to 18.00.
