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.
“Floto Y Me Transformo,”, which means “to float and transform”, portrays a young woman floating serenely on her back in tranquil waters. Her closed eyes and chestnut hair gently bobbing in the water evoke a sense of peaceful surrender.
The symphony of blues, greens, and turquoise tones adds to the dreamlike quality, capturing the transformation through water. This serene transformation painting reflects themes of change and renewal, beautifully conveyed in Herencia’s artwork.
