How do you feel about the wilderness? Does it belong to everyone or is it only for special people? With me today we have New York-based abstract painter Matt Coombs whose paintings and drawings depict a fluidity between the natural environment, the figure and the synthetic. One of the fascinating aspects of Matts's practice is his willingness to seek the sublime in an augmented “nature”,  so much of the imagery used comes from his upbringing in the Burned Over District of Upstate NY a region known for a wave of apocalyptic Christian movements in the early Nineteenth Century and was the birthplace of Spiritualism and the American fascination with seances and spirits. Matt's paintings a language to better understand the ghost of the past and our entitlement to the landscape that blurred over from this history. We talk about religion in the contemporary atmosphere, the art world and how it is affected by the wave of environmentalism and also some of his motivations and paintings.

Here with me today I have Paul Brooke, a wild photographer, eco poet and writer. Paul started as a biologist and later transformed his passion for wildlife into a career as a photographer and poet. Most of his works are a merger between his knowledge of science - the ecosystems, his passion for culture and eco theories that are then showcased in his unique poem structures and his perspective as a photographer that records his observations of nature. As a photographer, Paul dedicates his practice to highlighting species like jaguars or pumas to understand the specific  adaptations and behaviours. As a consequence, he travels often to Brazil and Chile to be in contact with local communities and their wildlife, and this is an intrinsic aspect of his practice. Paul is an accomplished photographer, lectures and poet with many books published and awards received and he shares his experiences on the nuances of being a wildlife photographer. See his work here.

This season we have a very interesting group of artists from all around the world and for this first episode, I have with me Miami artist and artivist Melanie Oliva. She founded the collective artful activist and Inspiration Pollination to raise awareness of endangered fauna and flora and bring the conversation about social atmospheres to the general public, opening the door to create change in policies. We had a very inspirational conversation, looking at how art interventions can influence change not only individually but also at the political level.

Today is the last episode of season one and I just want to thank everyone that has supported this initiative and give a special thanks to all the amazing artists that took the time to speak to all of us.

Welcome to the third episode of Insights of an Eco Artist. Today, I will talk about something I believe to be of extreme importance - artistic freedom that correlates with freedom of expression and speech. In light of current events, with individual rights being jeopardized worldwide, I want to stretch the importance of such rights on the quality of life of individuals and societies. Artistic freedom is the freedom to imagine, create and distribute various cultural expressions free of political interference, governmental censorship, or the pressures of non-state parties. Despite artistic freedom being political, individual charged, controversial and sometimes being too close for comfort, raising questions we would rather not answer. Still, freedom to create and enjoy these creations are an integral part of the rights of individuals.
