All of them serve as sources of inspiration and bases for the construction of\u00a0<b>Forns<\/b>\u2019\u00a0<b>'Liber Naturae'<\/b>, for whom painting is both a scientific expedition and an initiatory journey.\r\n\r\nThrough his painting,\u00a0<b>Carlos Forns Bada<\/b>\u00a0reflects on the concept of constant flux. The universe is a vast system in perpetual transformation, where its parts and the beings inhabiting them shift and interconnect in an endless dance. No form is permanent; all are immersed in infinite metamorphosis.\r\n\r\n<b>Forns<\/b>\u00a0moves between deep contemplation and playful assembly of elements, specimens, or objects from his collection, found during travels or through research in the garden of the world. He enlarges them, combines them in unthinkable dialogues, and transforms and metamorphoses them through the eyes of an enthusiastic explorer. It is as if\u00a0<b>Forns<\/b>\u00a0compressed all his references and ideas into a giant chrysalis from which, upon hatching\u2014as if drawn from a magician\u2019s hat\u2014thousands of imagos burst forth through the breach. From them, he builds networks and connections that take shape on the canvas, generating microcosms that act as links to the mysteries of creation and life\u2014something like miniature expressions of the universe that also stand as images of the inner soul\u2014of both the creator and the beholder. In his compositions, the changing nature of many of the structures projects imaginary geometries inspired by the hermetic diagrams of Giordano Bruno or the minimalist geometric images of Nicholas of Cusa. These apparitions invite contemplative meditation. He sees them as magical talismans from which metaphors and the transfiguration of nature are born. As he himself notes, \u201cit\u2019s about internalizing the universe so that we can become magicians, demiurges capable of creating in harmony with nature.\r\n\r\nCurated by Sergio Fuentes Mil\u00e1.\r\n\r\n<\/div>","event_category":103,"event_show_only_own_date":true,"_event_free":true,"_event_price-min":"","_event_price-max":"","_event_web_ca":"https:\/\/www.barcelonagalleryweekend.com\/expo.php?lang=cat&id=149","_event_web_es":"https:\/\/barcelonagalleryweekend.com\/expo.php?lang=esp&id=149","_event_web_en":"https:\/\/www.barcelonagalleryweekend.com\/expo.php?lang=eng&id=149","event_contact_email":"","event_apply_email":"","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":true,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Sala Par\u00e9s","abe_event_category":"Exposici\u00f3","start":"2025-09-18 00:00:00","end":"2025-09-21 23:59:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":1,"until":"2025-09-18 00:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/50225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/139"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/50225\/occurrences"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"event-category","href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category\/103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=50225"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=50225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
