Renewed magic of the four elements is seen in Maria Bernardino's print "Zodiac," winner of the Young Art Prize from CPS in 2019. In the set of 36 pieces dedicated to this theme, Water, Earth, Fire, Air, and their respective zodiac signs take on the symbolism of the colors associated with them. The red of crackling fire that fuels all passions and the intensity and brilliance of life itself, the blue of water, the quintessential color of the imagination, the starting point of the great journey of dreams and the cradle of all living forms, the golden yellow, solar and alchemical color of a land whose destiny is to expand and make all its creatures vibrate in the light of a celestial body that is emblematic of totality and the divine, the gray of air, which within its transparent atmosphere is the source of great mutations, a metaphor for both small and great mysteries.
The artist renews a tradition of many centuries that is reborn today in the refinement and magic of its simultaneously plastic and poetic signs.

Text by the Artist:
According to classical definition, Astrology is a pseudoscience whereby the relative positions of celestial bodies provide information about personality, human relationships, and other spheres, both personal and transpersonal. It can be considered a divinatory activity when used as an oracle, but it can also be used as a tool to understand human affection, signaling emotional aspects by comparing certain trends with elements of each individual's personality.
Zodiac was created during a journey of discovery of the elements that make up the horoscope: affinities (tendencies of each sign), aspects (distances between the angles of each planet), planets (which coexist with the signs), houses (which divide the astrological chart sky again), and the horizon line (from which the ascendant emerges, making the chart precise). Between interpretive freedom and the inheritance of a long tradition governed by mathematically exact elements, Zodiac is the result of a journey that seeks to be similar to the task of an astrologer — interpreting, setting the tone intuitively and inspired, playing with the field of possibilities that exist in the astrological universe.
