Earth Air (2024)Mixed-media painting by Ivana Urso

The work explores the encounter between two opposing yet complementary dimensions: Earth, solid and rooted, and Air, light and in constant movement. Through the contrast of warm and cool tones, the circular composition suggests a dynamic balance, in which matter dissolves into light and breath becomes form.
The silver leaf acts as a bridge between these two elements, capturing and reflecting light to evoke a sense of suspension, as if time were momentarily frozen.
The fluid movements of the acrylic colors reflect the constant transformation of nature: what is solid opens up, what is impalpable takes shape.
"Earth Air" is a visual dialogue between weight and lightness, roots and breath—an invitation to rediscover harmony between matter and the invisible.
