Ocean Utopia - Underwater evolutionary sculptures by Val

Nature
is my
daily comfort, the reason why I feel hopeful and grateful, the beauty of it,
the continuous movement, the buoyancy, its immense diversity and its fabulous
uniqueness.
The
underwater seascape offers even more variety and life.
I
like sculptures to interact with nature, changing aspect thanks to the outdoors
shadows in the day or moon light depending on the weather, the time of the day
or the season. I like observing the evolution of corrosion of the medium.
Underwater,
all these characteristics are enhanced, the day light illuminates
the
sculptures being in
the seascape, playing
with the curves, continuously changing with the movement of the waves, the sea
drawing its own story with moving circles of light on the surface of the
artwork. The alteration of the medium will evolve faster and will naturally
modify the scenery.

With
Ocean
Utopia my
wish is to go even further than that, I wish coral reefs to grow onto some
specific areas of the artwork, allowing a complete and free interaction between
the strength of nature and my artistic creation.
Ocean Utopia is
organized like a city architecture with fluid lines, reminding the fluidity and
the strength of water, allowing the fantasy of human life under the sea.
To
remind us that we are shaped by our surrounding, the sculpture will be the
starting point for growing new coral reefs, horizontally on the concrete base
and vertically in the textured parts of the concrete architectures. I will
define the original set up underwater and will then leave it to the elements.

The
interaction between the sculpture and nature will totally
depend on
the wind, the sun, the tide, the currents, wildlife and flora.
The
coral implementation done directly on the artwork will hopefully grow through
months and years, gradually modifying the visual aspect, shapes and colours,
of the architectural screens of my Ocean Utopia.
The
meaning of art whelms with the meaning of nature.
