#140 Painting

Estudio Ambar is founded by Beatriz Hevia and Jose Alonso, visual artists from Asturias, a region between the sea and the mountains in northern Spain. Their philosophy is to cultivate a minimalist and deep art to transmit messages against individualism, frenetic activity, and immediacy so common in these times and talk about the connection of all beings with metaphors about the fragility and brevity of life. Usually, the language of choice is an abstraction although to facilitate the reading in some sculptural pieces they use a language that combines abstraction with figuration addressing themes such as reflection, meditation, impermanence, balance... Their work fosters states of internalization and guides us toward greater self-knowledge and understanding of our capabilities and needs, thereby achieving a reduction of negative feelings and an increase in general well-being. We look for inspiration in nature from basic elements such as water, earth, air, fire, and energy, inviting the viewer to connect with the natural environment, feel its fragility and motivate him to take care of the beauty it gives us.
