NATURAL IMPRESSIONS
The 64 artists from 22 different nationalities selected for this exhibition not only enrich our consensus on artistic expression and cultural perspective but also expand our understanding of nature and its representation in the arts. This reflective approach challenges established conventions, allowing for diverse interpretations and representations of the world. It awakens human consciousness to the source of inspiration that the capacity to imagine represents, encouraging the audience to reflect on their relationship with the world and recognize the importance of art as a profound connection with the intrinsic essence of humanity.

INCEPTION, 2022
Braiding and embroidery
57 x 57 in (145 x 145 cm)
Amelia Nin’s work is a symbolic and
intuitive expression of the longing
for a closer relationship with nature,
acting as a bridge between the real
and intangible world. She creates
textile abstractions with a poetic
emphasis on details, tracing reflections
on the fabric with needle and thread,
embroidering the ungraspable. By
weaving and interweaving fabrics,
which she recycles and transforms
through dyeing, painting, bleaching,
or burning, she develops textures that
explore the relationship between the
micro and macro cosmos. Working with
textiles intrigues her because they hold
memories and intimacy, constituting
a part of her identity. She rescues the
traces that time leaves on textiles, not
concealing them, but rather amplifying
and transcending them. These traces
serve as evidence of the relentless
passage of time, our impermanence,
and transience. The encounter with
lichens revealed their magical essence
to her. She finds fascination not only in
their aesthetic richness but also from a
philosophical standpoint. Within them,
she perceives captivating mysteries,
such as the origin of things, the
evolution of life, and our vulnerable
existence in the universe.
