As part of a reflective and continuous approach following the Autumn Salon of 2024, the artist opens doors to the unknown, inviting the viewer to explore new territories, both visual and emotional. In doing so, the artworks become a true laboratory of ideas.This quest for the unexplored is expressed through the use of new mediums—innovative technologies, performances, digital arts, and more. Contemporary artists position themselves as researchers, explorers of the unknown, forging untrodden paths. Their approach resembles that of a laboratory, where experimentation and hypothesis testing occur without the need for immediate answers. The "Environmental Art" section brings together 70 artists, each a unique creative individual with their own techniques and visions, yet all working toward a shared direction. The diversity of mediums is an essential asset, weaving a genuine symphony of ideas that complement and reinforce one another, much like a grand orchestra. This metaphor of the orchestra also reflects a way of conceiving artistic trends: while each artist retains their individuality, together they form a harmonious whole. This diversity of expression gives rise to a collective work that allows for multiple interpretations, reflecting the boundless richness of human perspectives.To conclude, let us echo the words of the Autumn Salon 2024: we are, and must remain, the bearers of talent at the heart of cultural diversity. This is a fundamental principle that compels us to become, and to remain, facilitators of creative brilliance.
