The art piece was exhibited in Nýlistasafnið (The Living Art Museum) for the final exhibition of the MA graduate students of Fine Arts Department of Listaháskóli Íslands Iceland University of the Arts.
The exhibition was open from the 11th of May until the 2nd of June 2024 and the performance was was carried out every day at 17:00 for about 20 minutes during the opening days of the gallery.
The work addresses inner/outer, visible/invisible sonic and visual languages, where the gestures and the movements of the painter are connected to those of the music conductor/composer. I would like to create a sensory polarity between these two dimensions of our perceptions with sensitive natural environments. The improvisational part of the work focuses on awareness as a process of intimate contact between the work of art and the viewer, reaching beyond what can be seen, in order to discover the other senses.
I think of a space that made me feel one with nature during the process of creation.
My artwork seeks to nourish both senses and the mind and to elicit the nexus of our time and nature.My aim is to touch and nurture genuine emotions to bring people closer empathetically.
The sonorities of my work are composed of recordings in nature and inner experiences of gentle approaches.
In a society where fewer and fewer deep thoughts and memories are exchanged, the evocation of sharing feelings felt by experiencing art, literature and history is important. As in old societies the orality of myths or ancient songs is necessary for community development.
Creating sonic atmospheres allows a re-imagination of the world we live in now and stimulates the transition from ignorance to knowledge.
In the contemporary dialogue between deep relationships with nature and absorption of the individual by the technological world, the empathy, compassion and sensitivity are more essential than ever.
