Okomi (2024), Sanya Gbemileke, Acrylic on Canvas, 76.2x91.4 cm

In Sanya Gbemileke ’s “Okomi” (2024), maternal love is at the heart of the narrative. The painting gently and emotionally captures the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child, highlighting the power of familial care and the memories it creates. This idea of memory and affectivity continues in Ritchelly Oliveira ’s “ As flores que plantei I” (2024), where the fusion of charcoal and oil conveys the fragility and resilience of human relationships. The artist evokes emotional growth through ethereal figures and allegorical elements, echoing the importance of Care in both the intimate and the universal.

Our Heritage (2023), Paolo Chiuchiolo, Digital Arts

Care is not limited to human relationships; it also encomes our relationship with nature and the heritage we on. "Our Heritage" (2023) by Paolo Chiuchiolo embodies this environmental responsibility through a powerful image: a child holding a miniature Earth in his hands. This symbolic gesture calls into question the need to protect our planet, an essential message in a reflection on collective and intergenerational Care .

Harmony in Flux#2(Large edition) (2022), Daniel Kei Wo, Sculpture - Stainless steel, 210x155 cm

In a more abstract but equally meaningful approach, Daniel Kei Wo ’s “Harmony in Flux #2” (2022) explores the balance and connection between individuals. His polished steel sculpture, inspired by natural movement, conveys the fluidity and complexity of human relationships. It reminds us that Care is a constantly evolving process, requiring attention and adjustment.

Colour Study 53 (2023), Paul Gravett, Photography

Finally, Paul Gravett 's "Colour Study 53" (2023) offers a sensory experience that invites contemplation. Through its subtle play on textures and nuances, the work encourages us to slow down, observe and take care of our own perception of the world.

Each selection designed within this framework promotes an immersion in works that question our relationship to the world and to others, highlighting gestures and initiatives that promote better social cohesion. By collaborating with committed artists, Jessica Capra encourages a reappropriation of Care through diverse artistic expressions: interactive installations, performances, paintings and digital works, all practices that reflect the need for connection and solidarity.

The goal is to make art a lever for action and awareness, by offering experiences that resonate with viewers and encourage them to integrate Care into their own daily lives. Through this curation, she affirms that art is not only a representation of the world, but also a powerful means of transforming it by instilling new values based on respect, sharing and collective responsibility.
