Andrea Santarelli | El paisaje nunca es predecible

Inhabiting nature in its purest state allows me to mark a certain parenthesis within time and places me in the present, where the creative power of the earth is evident. I manage to capture what I perceive, even inexorably. I try to immortalize sensations and stages through meticulous contemplation through my senses. The universe of the natural world invites me to an internal search based on the external stimuli it manifests.

Changing, flexible and chaotic, the landscape is never predictable. When cycles are crossed by unexpected situations, they give rise to new beginnings covered in surprise.

And that is where my story emerges through painting, while I travel through this network of immensity, traveling through images that mutate, beings and experiences. Figures that intertwine and overlap, growing and floating, make space become deep. Light and air circulate between the elements and the composition is rhythmic and fluid. The work represents different moments of the seasons of the year that involve time and space. The landscape is modified and the cycles become an approach to life and death.
