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.

MÓNICA FIERRO
Buenos Aires, Argentina
The artistic practice consists of
rescuing books from oblivion and
transforming their main material
(paper) into new objects. Books are
sometimes gifted with the hope that
they will be given new life and not end
up in the trash. In many cases, books
are chosen for their somewhat thick
papers which, over time, have acquired
a tea-colored hue, as they are often
more than 50 years old.
Depending on the work, the paper is
cut, rolled, trimmed, and folded. The
thickness of the paper is also taken into
account to create a good combination.
When creating sculptures, the paper
is cut into strips and then made into
small rolls that are glued together with
vinyl glue. Each roll maintains the
same format, although each one is
unique and different. The work grows in
dimensions by proliferating units: first
3, then 6, until it becomes innumerable.
The assembly is premeditated. Up
close, it is possible to identify some
words, fonts, and illustrations contained
in the original material, giving rise to
new meanings. The paper, along with
the words contained within it, coexist
with their stories, sounds, and textures.
Rebirth is possible.
