On the Path to Shizen

On the Path to Shizen is an immersive process of observation and experimentation in the natural surroundings of the Argentine Pampas, where Carolina Baldomá lives and develops her work.

The artist produces fragmented landscapes that are meticulously reconstructed, in which nature, both fragile and powerful, materializes as both subject and dynamic object in each piece.

It is an exploration of slow time, in which the natural world unfolds across multiple dimensions, not only through visual representation, but also through the environmental traces imprinted on each work.

The technique employed is experimental cyanotype on Japanese paper. Each piece is exposed outdoors, developed by the sun, and rinsed with well water or rainwater. The images are shaped by time, the seasons, and the moment of the day, influenced by the type of sky (sun, clouds, rain) and natural factors such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, dew point, and wind.

Subtle variations emerge within the same landscape depending on the conditions present at the moment of creation, generating unique images defined by their environment. The result is an almost infinite range of Prussian blue tonalities: a sensitive code that echoes the essence of the territory.

It is a practice of contemporary alchemy in which art, science, and nature merge, transforming the act of image-making into a co-creation with the land, in which nature, light, and time are poetically transmuted into the materiality of the artwork.
