Karla Herencia’s work addresses environmental degradation, inspired by the coastal landscapes of Puntarenas. She collects discarded plastic and industrial debris, inspiring paintings, sculptures and mixed-media installations that reflect on the complex relationship between human invention and nature.
Influenced by the shifting oceanic and tectonic dynamics of her environment, Herencia explores themes of the body, territory, and environmental crisis.
Herencia’s Peruvian heritage influences her sensitivity to primitive materials and ritualistic aesthetics. Her installations combine socio-political critique with emotional responses to environmental issues.
In “Inteligencia No Humana”, part of Herencia’s “Sensitive Oceanographies” series, the artist presents an abstract composition featuring deep shades of blue and green, accented with yellow.
This contemporary abstract ocean painting reflects her ongoing engagement with the marine environment, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between natural beauty and human impact.
Through her distinct use of colour and form, Herencia continues to raise awareness of environmental issues, positioning this piece within contemporary abstract ocean painting and encouraging a deeper connection to the complexities of our oceans.
