Works for Raul Isidro’s “Living Elements” are based on the Greek classical elements: Aqua, Aer, Ignis and Terra. In Greek philosophy, science, and medicine, these four elements represent the realms of the cosmos wherein all things exist and whereof all things consist. For Isidro, breaking things down to their basic components, their essential elements, and then seeing how they interact presents an interesting opportunity to explore the natural world and local ecosystems. The artist’s latest exhibit is a form of higher abstraction and a divergence from his previous series of earth and boulders inspired by his native Samar.
