Together with the world: Balancing the Eath<\/strong><\/p>\n Evolved Mutations<\/strong><\/p>\n The artworks by Maen Florin, reminiscent of boneless creatures, depict hybrid marine organisms blending human and sea life forms. These vibrant creatures inhabit a future paradise where plants, animals, and humans coexist equally. In the midst of pandemics, natural destruction, and social upheaval, Maen Florin draws out primitive interests deeply rooted within, creating mutations that evolve into forms more advanced than the present, forging new connections with nature. Coral with four hands, shell-shaped faces, and octopus-human hybrids appear unfamiliar to us who live in the present.<\/p>\n Additionele, abstract and simple forms coupled with bright, vivid colors evoke a fairytale atmosphere. Breaking away from familiar species and ways of life centered around humans, the artist focuses on a world where nature takes center stage, heralding a new way of life. Florin presents a “strange yet ideal paradis” where hybrid creatures live, proposing a new a<\/p>\n ark for all refugees of the Anthropocene.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
