It’s not difficult to think that nature can inspire any artistic creation.
Beautiful in form and rich in content, it represents an unlimited universe of fauna, flora and landscape. From the most microscopic scale to the most universal context, it includes natural phenomena unable to tame, sources of life (and death) and essential resources. Colors, materials, textures. Shapes, sounds, movements. It generally excludes the human creation and the built environment, but nowadays, it may be difficult to know a corner of the planet that has not been affected by humankind in any way.
Even though it is something that exists long before and beyond us, its conservation is constantly being menaced by human growth and technological innovation, in an ironic struggle in which human beings seem to be able to destroy the very basis of their livelihood.
Conceptual Landscapes
Traces of violated nature
Until the middle of the fifteenth century the westerners are still intent on defending themselves from the violence of the elements.
It is precisely here that an aesthetic vision of nature and the concept of landscape is born and it is at this moment that humans begin to rape nature according to their aesthetical needs.
In our century it seems that humans must return to defend themselves from nature.
These rings investigate this historical concept.
