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.
“Luca”, a cosmic ocean and sky painting, features a rich palette of blue, purple, and black tones, merging the ocean and sky in a dreamlike scene. The background resembles rippling ocean waves, which break open to reveal a cosmic sky, blending the two realms. At the centre of the composition is a crystal within a circle, symbolising clarity or transformation amidst the fluidity of nature. This ocean and sky painting encapsulates Herencia’s signature blend of natural and cosmic elements, inviting reflection on the interconnectedness of these vast worlds.
