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.

Lanna C is an artist who employs
various techniques, processes, and
materials in her textile and fiber
artwork. She sets aside technical
work based on repetition and
instead embraces unruly materials,
experimenting with complete freedom.
She is passionate about transforming
matter and achieving diverse volumes
and textures. She combines bags
treated with pigments, stucco, or gold
leaf, which are traditional materials
used globally since ancient times,
with more modern and sustainable
alternatives. Her personal interest
and strong commitment to adapting
artistic practices to a more sustainable
lifestyle can be observed in her
recent works, which incorporate
reused materials such as leather and
quality fabrics sourced from surplus
and waste in the design and fashion
sectors. Additionally, she aims to
highlight the excellent properties and
artistic potential of wool. Her series
draw inspiration from landscapes,
cities, architecture, and the life stories
that accompany them. They evoke
memories of youth, vacations, shared
landscapes, the sea, terraces, stone
walls, and vegetation. She also
explores themes related to the city,
music, nightlife, people, and cultural
activities. Symbolism, folds, contours,
cracks, seams, and mixtures are
prevalent in her work, representing
those territories and lived experiences
while encouraging viewers to create
their own internal landscapes. In her
subsequent series, titled “Nature,”
she intends to celebrate and elevate
the elements of nature to the status
of artwork, recognizing their beauty
and appreciating their contributions to
our lives, emphasizing the importance
of their existence and preservation.
Simultaneously, her creations aim
to evoke the viewer’s emotions
through various senses. She employs
monochrome designs, diverse tactile
textures, and geometric, architectural,
or organic shapes, including movable
elements that can be adjusted at
will. Her artistic creations transcend
conceptual and technical aspects,
offering sensory experiences that
engage the audience.
