AQVO: the aquatic universe of Max Nitrofoska

The Iturria gallery in Cadaqués hosts the exhibition 'AQVO', a visual project by the multifaceted Max Nitrofoska, an artist born in San Sebastián who explores the frontiers of creativity through various disciplines, including music, writing, performance and visual creation. His works are characterized by a personal iconography that fuses imagination with contemporary techniques such as photography, video and digital images generated with artificial intelligence.

Nitrofoska's work draws from a wide range of influences that span scientific, philosophical and literary fields, as well as science fiction narratives and posthumanist ideas. These sources of inspiration have led him to investigate the interaction between machines and living beings, resulting in hybrid forms that challenge conventional notions of reality. Their beings arise from the cross between humans, animals, plants and artificial materials, living in a different order where chaos and chance are fundamental elements.

In this new series of works, which can be visited until October 30, Nitrofoska presents an alternative universe, AQVO, an aquatic world inhabited by hybridized humanoids that adapt to an environment different from ours. Through metaphors and poetic narratives, the artist invites us to reflect on the existential condition and social criticism, immersed in a context in which dreams and reality merge.

Exploring this liquid, wet and deep environment allows Nitrofoska to not only represent other forms of life, but also delve into her own emotional introspection. The artist seeks to discover and reconstruct his perception of the world, penetrating the surface layers of reality to reveal truths that often remain hidden.

Through a series of two-dimensional works, the 'AQVO' exhibition proposes visual narratives that are both surreal, dreamlike and sensorial.
