Fernando Palomar

Fernando Palomar transforms discarded plastic bottles into vibrant vessels of color, filling them with ink and water to create a luminous, jewel-like display on a painted wood shelf. The work plays with transparency and pigment, as the liquid-filled containers glow with rich, saturated hues that shift and blend within their repurposed forms. By elevating everyday waste into an organized, visually striking arrangement, Palomar invites reflection on consumption, beauty, and the overlooked potential of ordinary objects.
