M.A.D Gallery in Milan shows “Aeon”

M.A.D Gallery in Milan shows “Aeon”.

Aeon is a “study” about painting and mutation. In an era of speed and and ever faster changes in the delivery of information, Fernando Velázquez invites us to enter his art through a “miniature moving image” powered by silence, a journey through mind fields into painting itself.

The cyclic element of the composition refers to a long period of time represented here as a short breathing space. Velázquez’s recent series “Cave Paintings of our Time” pointed towards both his personal vision as a painter and his quest for universal and timeless images. “Aeon” looks beyond that initial point, becoming an experience, a transitional moment of reflection and lasting resonance.

The Big Picture Vancouver, Canada

This is an ambitious project involving artists from around the world who have created a piece to be part of final painting, expected to be more than six feet in height and 72-feet wide. Once complete, the work may become an artistic version of Google Maps, allowing art appreciators to zoom in on drawings and their stories.

Fernando has contributed to the project with a striking drawing in ink and watercolour. The piece aims to represent all of us, a portrait made out of paint.

ALCHEMIC BODY | FIRE . AIR . WATER . EARTH

International photography, painting, installation, video-art and performance art festival, hosted in Bogotá (Colombia), at Jorge Jurado Gallery.
ALCHEMIC BODY | FIRE . AIR . WATER . EARTH
Bogota, Columbia Festial
ALCHEMIC BODY | FIRE . AIR . WATER . EARTH is an exhibition of contemporary art, within the blooming Bogotá arts scene, destination of curators and collectors from all over the world. The exhibition is focused on the concept of transformation, starting from the alchemical processes, that aim to purify the nature elements: earth, air, water and fire. The alchemists, recognized as the ancestors of modern chemists, worked to discover the way the world is made and to modify its structure. The mysterious practice of alchemy always influenced the art and the artists from all the centuries. Alchemists and artists are fascinated by the concept of transformation and they both work to discover and create new possible worlds. We invite artists to share their researches about the natural elements and the creative processes of mixing and changing, using the body as field of artistic transformation.

Fernando at Anima Mundi, Venice 2017

Fernando at Anima Mundi, Venice 2017

Fernando has been selected to exhibit at the ANIMA MUNDI festival, curated by Luca Curci and Andrea Chinellato. The festival will be presented in Venice at the Palazzo Ca’ Zanardi, one of several prestigious and historic venues to be hosting showcase exhibitions from May to November 2017 within the stunning backdrop of the iconic cityscape.

ANIMA MUNDI consists of the special event, ‘ELEMENTS,’ and three principal exhibitions, ‘RITUALS,’ ‘ CONSCIOUSNESS,’ and ‘VISIONS.’
Fernando is part of the “Conciousness” exhibition, alongside other recognised International artists.

The festival focuses on the concept of ANIMA MUNDI, that according to several historical cultures, religions and philosophical systems, is an intrinsic connection between all living entities on the planet, relating to the world in a similar way as the human soul is connected to the human body.

Plato expressed his thought about the ANIMA MUNDI in the Timaeus, “this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence… a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related”.

ANIMA MUNDI is the invisible energy behind all natural and artificial elements that allow life to generate on the planet. Thanks to the hidden connections of ANIMA MUNDI, all the ecosystems of the Earth, before and after the appearance of mankind, found their equilibrium, their ways to live and to develop themselves, to transform and to evolve. All the beings of the planet; plants, minerals, animals, are permeated by an esoteric force that has always stimulated human thought and research.

The festival aims to discover these multiple forms of hidden connections between the soul and the body, mankind and nature, natural environments and man-made cities. Artists are invited to show their reflections about the various ways in which the ANIMA MUNDI expresses the relationships among all the existing entities and the natural and cultural systems, and to represent by their artistic works the processes of the evolution of the world in which we all live. Artists, designers and architects are invited to talk about ANIMA MUNDI through photo reportage of cities, hidden places, photographic documentaries and personal experiences, presenting their works of photography, painting, sculpture/installation, design and architecture, video-art and live performance.
