The path of Shizen

The Shizen Path is an immersive process of observation and experimentation in the environment of the Argentine Pampas, where Carolina Baldomá lives and creates her work.

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

It is an exploration of slow time, in which the natural world manifests itself in multiple dimensions, not only in its visual representation but also in the environmental characteristics imprinted on the surface.

The technique used is experimental cyanotype on Japanese paper. The pieces are exposed outdoors, developed by the action of solar radiation, and rinsed with well or rainwater. The images are shaped by time, the seasons, the time of day, the type of sky (sun, clouds, rain), as well as by temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, dew point, and wind.

Subtle variations become visible within the same landscape depending on the environmental conditions present at the time of creation, generating unique images defined by the natural environment. The result is an almost infinite combination of Prussian blue tones, a sensitive code that imprints the traces of the place.

It is a contemporary alchemical practice in which science, art, and nature merge. The act of creating images transforms into a co-creation with the environment, in which natural elements, light, and time are poetically transmuted into the materiality of the work.
