In an era where technology and articiality reign supreme, a consortium of
artists propose a rediscovery of our connection to nature, an exploration of
the elegance and beauty of organic forms. Their proposition probes concepts
such as biomorphism and metamorphosis, their interrelationship, and the ca- pacity for transformation, reecting a surrealist preference for anatomical and
botanical themes.
Drawing inspiration from biomorphism—the patterns and shapes of na- ture—artists extract the beauty and biological eciency for their works.
Krista/Bernard have distilled the forms of nature to their barest abstract es- sence, creating luminescent pieces that capture and express the vital energy
of existence. Liberating art from the connes of ponderous deliberation, their
biomorphic works embody the vibrancy of life. Arnau Tasies’’s digital sculp- ture impressions meld aquatic animal and plant gures with rock formations,
giving birth to eeting miniature scenes.
Their creations, in which strength, delicacy, and exquisite craftsmanship co- alesce, respect and rigorously treat matter, be it in minimalist pieces or those
where space is played with as an extension of temporal succession. In the bi- dimensional realm, soft curves of leaves, fractal patterns of tree bark, branch- ing structures, even macro views of nickel in stone, among other composi- tions, become the muse fueling creativity.
In the dynamism of biomorphism, urban constructions or scenes challenge
our expectations and lead us on a journey towards metamorphosis, pulling us
away from conventional structures and embracing uidity and adaptability. In
this sense, metamorphosis immerses us in a world of constant transformation

and change, appearing akin to surrealist-tinged works.
Within the selected works, artists guide us through the magic of evolution,
where creatures and objects reinvent and transform into new forms and
meanings. Sebastian Höher’s wooden sculptures, which incorporate symbols
blending the delicacy of art with an untamed quest for knowledge, serve as a
nod to scientic advancements and biomorphic modications, springing
from critical notes and an ironic gaze. The surrealists attributed considerable
value to magic, transformation, and hybridization. Framed within the concept
of metamorphosis, Mirko Aquaro’s work presents itself as a surrealistic piece
that challenges our perception of reality: a head with an extraordinarily long
neck becomes the protagonist where the everyday morphs into the unex- pected, and the concrete dissolves into the abstract.
Contrarily, for Oleg Vechera Soul, the canvas turns into an experimentation
eld where forms break free from mimetic representation and surrender to
the artist’s automatic impulse, like liberating gestures. Thus, metamorphosis
illustrates the power of individual imagination to transcend reality and reason
to access the realm of the marvelous. In Eric Johnston’s works, metamorphosis
unfolds before our eyes as toys break free from their condition of simple ob- jects and transform into hybrid creatures with their own narratives. In contrast,
Linda Achar’s portraits and Mara Matagne’s photographs serve as a visual tes- timony of the uidity and constant evolution that characterize our existence.
Facial features meld and unfold, revealing the multiplicity of identities and
perspectives that compose each individual.
