Arts For Future

is an eclectic photography project including graphic art, dance, painting, sculpture, fashion, floral arrangements, beauty and much more aimed at contributing to some of the actions that are being taken to heal the Earth through transparent organisations that do not waste any of te funds received on high salaries, expensive offices and other expenses that are not vital to the actions taken to heal the Planet.

Arts For Future is a story told in pictures and divided in “chapters with totally different visual languages but with the common thread of nurturing the Planet through arts.

The first chapter, “The Personification of Nature” supported the actions of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation ( https://www.fpa2.org )through the sale of limited edition photographic prints.

The second chapter, shot in the rainforest of Calakmul in Mexico in April 2021, contributes to Amigos de Calakmul, an association of biologists that have been creating something unique in the world concerning the protection and restauration of the biodiversity of the forest, the prevention the sale of private land in the rainforest that far too often results in burning the trees (and thus also destroying the biodiversity) in order to create crops and pastures that are harmful not ony to the rainforest of Calakmul but to the planet at large.

Arts For Future is an invitation to create change through beauty which is a much more powerful tool than we normally acknowledge..

THE PROJECT

The Earth always creates enormous changes while maintaining the beauty of nature.

This is not just a series of beautiful fashion art pictures with some of the best ballet dancers in the world, it is a way for all of us together to create something greater through small and simple actions.

Arts For Future is an art project initiated by Andrea and Amanda Belluso to create something different in the world. In these times of fast change concerning the whole of humanity, a group of creatives and artists from different crafts have come together to increase awareness around topics that expand on many different aspects of our lives on Planet Earth. The Bellusos decided to take action after watching many great documentaries, in particular “A Life on our Planet” by Sir David Attenborough and after having some very interesting conversations with Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer, Founder and Co-Founder of Access Consciousness as well as Editor in Chief of Robb Report Sweden  Isabel Gracián and the Senior Editor of Robb Report Sweden and writer Britta Rossander. 

For the First Chapter of Arts For Future a great and joyful collaboration began with dancers from The Royal Swedish Opera and Nicholas Albert Khan, Ballet Master at The Royal Swedish Ballet.

Our goal is to create change with art, beauty and elegance, whereElegance” is obtaining the greatest result with the least amount of effort.




THE STORY

Arts For Future tells a story in several chapters through photographic art, where each chapter has its own visual language and message.

The first chapter of the project is “The Personification of Nature” which was produced in September 2020.

We are now offering a signed limited edition of 3 prints of each image.

All the profits of the sales of the first limited edition prints from Chapter 1were donated to The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. (https://www.fpa2.org) which Arts For Future supports.

The second chapter, “The Planet’s Lungs”, was produced in the rainforest of Calakmul in Mexico and Arts For Future supports the organisation og biologists of Amigos de Calakmul with the sale of all the remaining limited edition prints of Chapter 1 as well as all the prints from Chapter 2.


Chapter 1: The Personification of Nature

Arts For Future will continue creating different arts projects based on photography, dance and nature with different highlights and different types of imagery.

The first chapter, “The Personification of Nature” invites to a communion between mankind and nature.

Humans morphing into plants. Or is it plants showing us their connection to us?

This invites us to reflect on the separation between people and the gifts of Planet Earth.

Chapter 2: The Planet’s Lungs

Chapter 2 was produced in Mexico, in the same rainforest that we donate all the proceeds of the sales of prints from Arts For Future, the rainforest of Calakmul.

Chapter 2 is about two things, the first one, as the name of this chapter tells us, is about how the rainforests are the lungs of our planet and the second part of it is a tribute to the witches.
In this chapter you will see moderns women in the forest of Calakmul and you will also see the jaguars and other animals that live in Calakmul as well as visual insinuations to the spirits of the forest as well as the spirits of the witches.

Back in the days witches were burnt at the stake for their knowledge and their oneness with nature and the planet, something that other people were not so happy to share with the rest of the world.

Chapter 2 is very different visually to Chapter 1 and it is also a longer process.
What you see here are just some digital renditions of what Andrea Belluso is creating, something that in its final stage will be the result of photographic prints on different types of paper, including Japanese rice paper for its transparency, to replicate in a physical 3-dimentional form of what these digital renditions.

The other difference of this chapter is that other artists are being introduced with their interventions on the work shot in Calakmul, in their very individual ways and with different types of art.

This is just a small taster of what is coming.
