Description
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.
“¿Qué Son Esas Manchas que Flotan 004?” evokes the fluidity of ocean waves. The deep blue background is intricately layered with lighter blue and white lines that traverse the canvas, suggesting movement and rhythm, while flecks of colour highlight her main themes of environmental impact and marine abstraction. This work invites viewers to engage with the themes of marine abstraction and their connection to the ocean environment.
