WISHING WELL BOTTLES
From an early age, I have always been concerned with how we treat the rest of the species and the planet. As a human being, my sense of protection towards both has been constant. As an artist, although my exploration is intimate and deep with the soul -what makes us up and which is our essence to be connected with everyone and with everything-, it is impossible for me to separate my artistic creation from respect for the life of all living beings and the earth we inhabit.
“Wishing Well Bottles” is a wonderful project that allows me to recycle those glass bottles from the food and drinks we consume and transform them into pieces of art with a magical element: a good wish for the planet and its beings. Bottles painted with my art that contain the breath of a good intention and once acquired by the collector, that good thought is released and integrate that energy with the air that surrounds us and the world. Thus we nurture a cosmic connection!
But once that wish is released, a "Wishing Well Bottle" continues to work magic because its owner can continue using it as many times as it is desired: blowing a personal wish, closing the lid and releasing the intention deposited there after a while. Two pieces of advice: first, when you blow, wish with all the strength of your thoughts and the joy of your heart; second, wait three moonlit nights before opening the bottle. Do you believe in Magic? This is your magic, my magic, our magic.
