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 “El Vuelo de la Observación”, which translates to “The Flight of Observation”, the title suggests a journey of perception, inviting viewers to explore the depths of the painting as if soaring above a shimmering water surface.
The layers of this abstract seascape painting create a sense of depth, allowing you to peer through and glimpse the ripples beneath, while bright streaks of colour evoke the hues of a sunset reflecting on the water. This interplay between observation and abstraction encourages a deeper contemplation of the natural world and our connection to it, positioning the work within the world of abstract seascape painting.
