FEATURE ARTISTS

VICTOR HOLDER

Victor Holder is a multidisciplinary artist with a background in visual arts, film and motion graphics animation. He has been involved in environmental and social actions and movements, through which he developed a sensitivity to and fascination with the intimate connection between human beings and their natural and built environments, as well as with each other, and how this interconnectedness evolves in a constant dynamic of energetic exchange.

CARL GARDINER
St Kilda – Victoria – Australia

Artist and Nature lover Mother Nature has always connected with me. Oceans, forests, rivers, mountains and beaches are my favourite playgrounds – full of natural beauty , wildlife and adventure. Surfing our beautiful Australian coastline over the last 45 years has heightened my connection with nature and driven my desire to express it through my art. The simple pleasures and special moments that we get from this amazing world should be celebrated. For me art provides a great way to do this. Beyond the celebration lies the awareness artistic expression can generate. Awareness of our planet ,it’s natural beauty and the responsibility we all have to protect it from those who choose to sacrifice it for short-term financial gain.

Her art explores her Salvadoran cultural heritage within an Australian context, including critiquing social, political and environmental issues in both societies. Using the mediums of photography, drawing, collage and pyrography (the art of burning wood with specialised tools), her work explores her own identity, her connection to Indigenous cultures, human relationships with nature and human impact on the environment. Her approach is experimental and exploratory, giving a three-dimensional characteristic to her photographic style. Her work has been part of a number of group exhibitions in New South Wales and Melbourne and has also been featured in the Hispanic channel Antena Hispana. She is currently completing the final year of her BFA in Fine Art Photography at RMIT University.

“In Central America, independence was first called for in 1811 and achieved in 1821, but our resilient indigenous cultures of El Salvador have yet to declare their own true Independence” S.R

“Smell of Freedom conveys the hope of a nation that has a history of war and
violence. El Salvador is known for its hard-working people and their constant
struggle for justice. It is up to us to build a better nation and preserve our indigenous cultures”. S.R

SARAH DE LA CERDA
ECUADOR
