Description
The work You are made of the same energy that created the Oceans belongs to the collection Like Water Drawn on Earth, a pictorial cycle in which Mara Bonofiglio investigates water as a primordial force and a principle of universal connection. In this diptych, the chromatic fluidity and the dance of organic forms—flowers, polyps, hands, butterflies, and aquatic corollas—become a metaphor for the vital continuity between humans and nature. The artist translates the concept of energetic interconnection into images, evoking liquid matter as the origin and return of every living form.
The pictorial gesture is dynamic and vital: the bright, layered acrylic areas alternate with marker marks that outline vibrant, fluid contours, typical of the artist’s visual language. The composition unfolds in a harmonious choreography of floral and marine elements, where each figure emerges and dissolves into the other, without clear boundaries: everything is motion, transformation, exchange.
In this vision, water is not just matter, but consciousness, origin, and memory, a generative principle that permeates life in all its forms.
The choice of colors—turquoise, orange, purple, and tropical green—reflects the vibrant energy of the natural world and the sensorial experience of the Mediterranean and Asia, territories inhabited and internalized by the artist.
