This exhibition brings together the work of two artists united by friendship and a commitment to the environment. Through their work, they offer a personal and sensitive perspective on nature, inviting us to pause, contemplate, and above all, listen to the earth’s ancestral song that reminds us we are still part of it.
Kamazón’s birds lend lightness and musicality to the exhibition. Convinced that human life and the planet are intertwined, the artist has added the icons of the bird and the tree to her artistic imagery, allowing her to reflect on the role that humankind is playing in its environment.
Liviana, for her part, departs from the paths of abstraction that have defined her work for many years, creating paintings where natural elements are sometimes merely suggested and at other times more explicit. Everything is green: dense, leafy, and exuberant forests, whose interior is only hinted at, and where the desire to lose oneself in them prevails. With this work, he hopes to communicate to the viewer that nature is a precious asset, wonderful to enjoy, but in great need of protection.
The paintings in this exhibition are acrylic on canvas, combining humanity and nature or depicting nature in its purest form. Intense colors—green, blue, red—dominate. The sculptures feature recycled materials such as paper, wire, wood, and plastic, giving them new life as flying birds. Together, these two ways of representing nature complement each other through different perspectives.
Stella Kamazón, originally from Mucientes (Valladolid), trained as an advertising designer at the School of Arts and Crafts in that city. She has worked as a teacher, giving ceramics classes through the National Employment Institute (INEM) and at various educational centers. Her creations range from painting and printmaking to sculpture, employing a symbolic iconography that is easily understood and incisive in its reflection of the society we live in.
Her themes encompass a wide range of social and environmental issues, such as gender equality, addiction to so-called “new technologies,” and the degradation of the planet.
In most of her works, the materials come from recycled objects that have fallen into disuse, giving them a new life through a fresh, creative perspective.
Liviana Leone was born in Italy and loved everything related to art from a young age. Although she initially worked in languages and tourism, she later studied art in Florence. She set up her studio in Spain, supplementing her training with numerous courses, many of them on different etching techniques. She also works in photography, artist’s books, and digital art. For her, painting is a way of life, an experience that makes life more interesting; it is a search and a discovery; wonder, surprise, game, and mystery. Her style, based on abstraction, has evolved: since what interests her most is experimenting with different materials and techniques, she has returned to exploring without preconceived ideas or a fixed style, with complete freedom. She has participated in many art fairs, solo and grupal exhibitions, both in Spain and abroad.
