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.
“Queremos Pintar,” meaning “We Want to Paint,” is an expressionist painting – a celebration of creativity – that depicts two women, including a self-portrait, in a lively, celebratory pose.
The dynamic energy reflects a moment of joy and freedom, embodying the title’s emphasis on creative expression. This colourful celebration of creativity highlights the passion for painting that the artwork conveys.
