Detailed view of, Your Mortal Breath  (2022)

India Leire’s sculptures question the value of nature in contemporary society. Her hybrid, organic-looking works are both a homage to the natural world and its beauty and a testament to her commitment to its preservation. By analyzing the transformative processes of living organisms and their mutations, the artist constructs fictional narratives where nature takes center stage. Her creations draw inspiration from the vast diversity of fauna and flora, as well as from Greek and Eastern mythologies and fantastical imagined worlds.

The materials she employs—plaster and ceramics—combined with her exploration of form and movement, serve a singular purpose to breathe life into her sculptures. This is achieved through the interplay of light, from the brilliance of white surfaces to the shadows cast by each piece.

The enchanting universe envisioned by IndiaLeire invites us on a journey and encourages us to reconsider our relationship with the living world
