ROMMY GONZÀLEZ has been exploring and interpreting her own surroundings, creating artworks inspired by nature and its hidden beauty. The series ‘Microvitae’, from 2016 is a biological-artistic exploration of human life as part of the universal whole and a wake-up call that refocuses on fascinating “symbioses of life”. This view looks to pass through surfaces and literally penetrate into the interior: to the core of microscopically small cells, in whose living forms the greater whole is reflected. Inspired by animal and plant cell structures, Rommy creates fantastic micro-landscapes in which earthly dimensions are redefined. The parallels between the different cell types are surprising - and make it clear that there are only a few subtle differences responsible for the endless diversity of nature.
“We have long since moved away from nature and barely perceive their wealth of detail and functional beauty. As individuals isolated from each other, although we divide the living spaces through which we move, the universal similarities of all organisms at most still seem hazy and foggy images.”
