The project consists in a water landscape installed along the 3 rooms of the gallery. Each room will have a unique dark atmosphere. The see represented (in form of a big painting) in each room, will sweep away the tragic and negative “aura” of the place. VIENTOS NEGROS is like a refreshing wind and a semantic turn of the place – the visitors will have the feeling of being involved in a cool, sinister and claustrophobic landscape. This sensation is relieved by the view of the ocean.
