Representando la vida
The Cosmic Heart Gallery, in collaboration with The General Consulate and Trade Centre of the Argentine Republic, is thrilled to present a mesmerizing exhibition featuring the artistic talents of Florencia Aise (painting) and Julia Romano (digital collages). This extraordinary showcase is an amalgamation of two distinct yet harmonious artistic journeys, that invite viewers to explore the world through hyper-realistic portraits, imaginative collages, and immersive depictions of natural landscapes.
Florencia Aise: A Visionary in Hyper-Realistic Portraiture and Collages
Florencia Aise stands as one of the most influential and representative plastic artists in the Latin American art scene. Her body of work is a testament to her remarkable talent for creating hyper-realistic portraits that transport viewers into the realms of human emotion and experience. Aise’s meticulous attention to detail, use of color, and profound understanding of the human form provide a rare and intimate insight into the subjects of her art.
Florencia’s ability to use different mediums in her work adds even more depth and complexity to her art. By incorporating various materials and techniques, she can create a rich and multi-dimensional experience for viewers, further enhancing the intrigue and immersion in her artistic world.
Aise’s hyper-realistic portraits are not mere reproductions but windows into the very souls of her subjects. Each piece is infused with a profound sense of presence, allowing viewers to connect with the emotions and stories that lie beneath the surface. Her paintings are a fascinating blend of various elements, weaving together fragments of the world to construct new narratives and meaning. Aise’s art invites us to reflect on the intricate and often fragmented nature of our own lives and the profound beauty that can be found within them.
In Florencia’s painting, the depiction of grapes also takes center stage depicting the lush vineyards in the area which she lives in. The grape clusters in rich colours also portray a beautiful interplay of light and shadow.
Julia Romano: Exploring the Beauty of Natural Landscapes
Julia Romano, in stark contrast to the hyper-realism of Aise’s portraits, takes viewers on an enchanting journey through the beauty of natural landscapes. Romano’s digital art is an invitation to embrace the raw, unspoiled essence of the world and to immerse ourselves in the splendor of the Earth’s diverse terrains. Her works inspire us to pause, appreciate, and reflect on the magnificence of our environment.
Romano’s compositions are not merely visual representations of natural landscapes but serve as pathways to self-recognition and a deeper connection with the territory. Through her art, she encourages us to find our place within these landscapes, to explore the interconnectedness between nature and ourselves. Her pieces provoke a sense of wonder, inviting viewers to embark on an introspective journey as they engage with her evocative art.
“This exhibition highlighting Florencia & Julia’s creations is a celebration of artistic diversity and a tribute to the boundless possibilities of artistic expression. Aise’s hyper-realistic portraits unveil the intricate layers of human emotion, while Romano’s natural landscapes ignite a sense of wonder and introspection. Together, these two remarkable artists take us on an inspiring voyage through the realms of beauty, emotion, and self-discovery. This exhibition is a testament to the power of art in uniting individuals, transcending boundaries, and shaping our collective understanding of the world.” says curator, Jalpa H Vithalani.
ABOUT FLORENCIA AISE
Florencia Aise has obtained her degree as an industrial designer from the National University of Cuyo. Her vocation is painting, and she dedicates herself completely to it. She is one of the youngest plastic artists, the most influential and representative of Latin America for her impressive hyper-realistic portraits and collages of the world.
The trend of her painting is inspired by hyperrealism, focusing on the simple beauty of things. In her work, social reality and the role of women are always present. Regarding the hyperrealistic work, she painted grapes as a primary element of their place of origin and to show their various meanings.
Florencia´s work has been exhibited, among other cities, in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, London, Madrid, New York, Rome, and Art Basel Week in Miami. She was considered by Forbes magazine as one of the most promising young women under 35 in Argentina.
“I consider that my art has several messages, on the one hand I represent the grape as mother and creator in our culture and on the other hand with portraits and especially self-portraits, I represent the struggle of women in a society in which we were despised and silenced. I represent women as mothers, creators and makers of humanity… in short, with my work I speak of giving life.”says Florencia Aise.
