the visibility of climate change

The Visibility of Climate Change is an ongoing investigation of the climate crisis. A research-based art project calibrated with an imaginative lens, scientific methodologies, climate-resilient community strategies, and a collaborative approach to a speculative-imaginative, photographic and multi-media body of work. The primary function of this body of work is to establish an understanding of the causes, consequences, and solutions of the climate crisis (a textual-image journal); a visual mapping and art which is aimed at an open audience, any and all who might be interested in learning and sharing knowledge with the artist– Valentino.

Ancient Reflections Other Worldly, 2023

This work contemplates the notion of our current environmental state of distress, and how indigenous practices are becoming more prevalent in the fight against climate change as a sustainable approach.

Love Is Resilient, 2023

A creative expression of a hopeful future for all through love and poetic collaboration between people and land.

Body As Environment, 2023

A composite image around caring for our environment in the way we care for our bodies with protection, preservation, and good health in mind.

Long Future Ecology, 2023

Speculative-imaginative photographic composite that considers rising sea levels, how the melting ice caps in Greenland affect the Bay Area, among other critical spaces (the Marshall Islands for example), and wonderment of how humans will adapt/respond.

Valentino Loyola is an interdisciplinary artist who works with mixed/multi-media and photographic imagery. His work is based on curiosities of big world questions and lived experience when focused on identity. He explores new ways to create art objects that embrace tangibility and transformation at the intersection of materials and concept through research and performance.

humanity is the message.

Valentino recognizes the critical threat of climate change and climate justice and is committed to learning more about sustainable art practices and how to implement them into his creative environment and applications. Valentino's commitment to climate-forward values and goals entails looking first at Indigenous ecological stewardship, social equality, and sustainability.
