Emilio Longhi

Emilio Longhi proposes a cultural landscape that blends the geographical with the mythical. Planetary equilibrium is at stake, and climate change is proof of the disruption of the known order. Longhi creates a new horizon inspired by Andean myths. Ancient pre-Hispanic gods reappear through life-giving actions in the sea.Through materials that are emblematic of nature, on the one hand, and characteristic of the waste products of the industrial world, on the other, the artist synthesizes a vision of the world. The shadow of pollution has covered everything. Becoming aware of this implies seeking cleansing and purification, Longhi suggests, and that is why he alludes to a learning process that allows us to gradually remove the various layers of opacity that distance human beings from the transcendent dimension.
