Colombia, a global symbol of biodiversity to be preserved, is the central theme of the 12th edition of Stills of Peace and Everyday Life, titled Global Future. Looking to the future as a right of the new generations and a commitment to safeguarding the planet’s vital resources, the exhibition Global Future brings together twelve artists from different generations—diverse in their backgrounds yet surprisingly united by shared sensibilities about art, particularly painting. The works of Aycoobo, Lorenzo Aceto, Chiara Calore, Rudy Cremonini, Federica Giulianini, Mariangela Levita, Luz Lizarazo, Matteo Montani, Pietro Moretti, Giovanni Paolo Randazzo Mora, Alejandro Sánchez Suárez, and María Alejandra Torres emerge as true promises for the future. Ranging from purely abstract expressions to those leaning toward figuration, their pieces highlight themes such as landscape, urban environments, and, more broadly, the relationship between humans and the spaces they inhabit. Within these works, one can read reflections on time, inner turmoil, the tensions between art, nature, and technology, voyeuristic gestures, as well as dreamlike, ironic, and unsettling visions—wild and mythological spaces, and critical takes on globalization. Through the concept of art as a new language of connection, the exhibition becomes a catalyst for rewriting the future.
