The Comfort of the Environment

Overlapping cushions, soft to the eye, upon which a bronze element rests regally. It is a small forest, symbolizing nature, which the artist urges us to treat with reverence. 

To listen to its voices, to respect its dynamics, and, above all, to remember that we ourselves are nature. In our constant pursuit of "comfort," we often forget the real bond that connects us to it—as part of a unique whole that must remain attentive and supportive. 

The interplay of illusion and paradox (a bronze forest resting on stone cushions?) serves as a tool for the artist to invite the viewer to reflect on the fundamental questions that should guide our presence in the world today. 

According to Itahisa Perez Conesa, Fior di Pesco Carnico derives its name from the orange veining that makes this material unique. Its processing reveals surprising shades of color, which the artist joyfully embraces and enhances within the artwork.
