Here, HITNES’ work is inspired by three key words: change, courage, storytelling.
“Migratory routes’ is the title of this work, which measures 14 by 45 meters for a total surface area of 630 square meters.
HITNES’ work takes inspiration from the routes traced by birds during their seasonal migrations. Their wanderings are summarized in the succession of different landscapes that follow each other along dynamic lines, like suspended views.
HITNES’ work is inspired by the routes taken by birds during their seasonal migrations. Their wandering is captured in the succession of different landscapes that open up along dynamic lines, like suspended views.
The interpretation of this particular animal phenomenon illustrates passion, courage and commitment and is intended to emphasize the importance of and at the same time inspire teamwork. The travel memories of the tireless birds, places and landscapes intertwine to become one.
A painting that brings to memory ancient paintings from other countries. A style that uses signs, is instinctual and characterized by strong yet gentle colors.
This work of art can be interpreted on several levels. On one level there is the bird’s eye view that brings together in a single painting, different elements: cities, mountains, lakes, deserts.
On a second level, the work is a metaphor for the “migratory” routes of our goods which, thanks to logistics, cross territories, arrive at storage points, such as the logistics park, and then leave again to reach our homes.
Finally, a third level of interpretation looks at the relationship between nature and man.
