The composition is built after the Fibonacci numerical sequence and explores a diamond shape to celebrate the rich archeological history of the city as a direct reference to the Municipality coat of arms. Its colour palette presents a horizontal diagrammatic combination of blues and reds that show how fast the earth is warming according to research conducted by Professor Ed Hawkins from the University of Reading (UK). The title of the artwork “Tipping Point“ refers itself to points of no return in the climate change to call all parts of society to be involved in the process of tackling the climate crisis, including sport and sport institutions as man-made global warming continues to increase. <img width="3150" height="4724" width_o="3150" height_o="4724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/57f479614312a97d4aa180c267a3568283e61aad1b9a9a997d9a896022ef6c35/_DSC7143---Copy---Copy.jpg" data-mid="240531272" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/57f479614312a97d4aa180c267a3568283e61aad1b9a9a997d9a896022ef6c35/_DSC7143---Copy---Copy.jpg" /> <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d417bd7bb29bbe621d9139b55c4542800ba2cbd78dc5d73c7db9fd636ce6f1b/marisa-ferreira-tipping-point-visual-artist-contemporary-art.jpg" data-mid="234693327" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d417bd7bb29bbe621d9139b55c4542800ba2cbd78dc5d73c7db9fd636ce6f1b/marisa-ferreira-tipping-point-visual-artist-contemporary-art.jpg" /> <img width="1080" height="1350" width_o="1080" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52a0151952a67bfc7b3d7eda7701612eb29dac576af99f743b0db42102baccb6/marisa-ferreira-tipping-point-visual-artist-contemporary-art-1.jpg" data-mid="240528183" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52a0151952a67bfc7b3d7eda7701612eb29dac576af99f743b0db42102baccb6/marisa-ferreira-tipping-point-visual-artist-contemporary-art-1.jpg" /> Tipping Point, 2022Sketch by Marisa Ferreira/ BONO, 2022 https://marisa-ferreira.com/Expanded-Invertions Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:38:32 +0000 Marisa Ferreira – Portuguese Oslo & London based Contemporary Artist & Public Art https://marisa-ferreira.com/Expanded-Invertions Expanded Invertions Mirror acrylic glass, acrylic painting on oak, and acoustic panels1200 x 490 x 14cm, 2020 Commissioned by Bærum Kommune for Levre School Architect: Lille Frøyen Art Consultant: Ina Elisabeth Skarpodde <img width="2000" height="1398" width_o="2000" height_o="1398" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/551668063f00ad6ec2900c5d61bfdc430dd4a3a64be4b7344a909c7b827921b1/marisa-ferreira-expanded-inversions-visual-artist.contemporary-art-13.jpg" data-mid="240531300" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/551668063f00ad6ec2900c5d61bfdc430dd4a3a64be4b7344a909c7b827921b1/marisa-ferreira-expanded-inversions-visual-artist.contemporary-art-13.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="1376" width_o="2000" height_o="1376" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5e46ec93831b5e18957bcb814c04c8eca34499473c60a1992b4a2d2717a8cb6/marisa-ferreira-expanded-inversions-visual-artist.contemporary-art-1.jpg" data-mid="240531312" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5e46ec93831b5e18957bcb814c04c8eca34499473c60a1992b4a2d2717a8cb6/marisa-ferreira-expanded-inversions-visual-artist.contemporary-art-1.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07e2ed342c2e33185883337ee13480b3aa6b69f962f23269672e5315de5cbff8/marisa-ferreira-expanded-inversions-visual-artist.contemporary-art-details-1.jpg" data-mid="240531297" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/07e2ed342c2e33185883337ee13480b3aa6b69f962f23269672e5315de5cbff8/marisa-ferreira-expanded-inversions-visual-artist.contemporary-art-details-1.jpg" /> Expanded Invertions, 2020Photography by Øystein Thorvaldsen https://marisa-ferreira.com/Everything-is-connected Wed, 04 Jun 2025 20:06:30 +0000 Marisa Ferreira – Portuguese Oslo & London based Contemporary Artist & Public Art https://marisa-ferreira.com/Everything-is-connected Everything is connected Acrylic painting on stainless steel, mirror acrylic glass200 x 800 x 20cm, 2022Commissioned by Louis Vuittonfor LV Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles, USPress | Fashion Network 18.07.2022The piece evokes David Brewster's 1817 invention “kaleidoscope” to explore the idea of "multiplicity”. Drawing from installation art from the 1970s, the artwork is created by combining small scale repeated forms made on stainless steel and mirror glass organised by the Fibonacci numerical grid. The work makes reference to Marisa´s architectural surroundings and walks in the city and invokes the Bauhaus's spirit expressed through a continuous experiment of colour, form and material to investigate how colour is experienced in the urban environment and the ways in which we perceive colour, not only how we see or understand the world, but what colour is and how it affects and transforms the way we perceive and know the world? <img width="1500" height="1613" width_o="1500" height_o="1613" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/327e42382eee5a6c156007a669f18b9eae1da1aa54937620fcd48a3841923e28/marisa-ferreira-everything-is-connected-louis-vuitton-1.png" data-mid="235359654" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/327e42382eee5a6c156007a669f18b9eae1da1aa54937620fcd48a3841923e28/marisa-ferreira-everything-is-connected-louis-vuitton-1.png" /> <img width="1500" height="810" width_o="1500" height_o="810" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/341c4326dcf681dff49b930083e740bbd2c44bff886e59433e8ee9ab3ba0ff58/img42.jpg" data-mid="234192619" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/341c4326dcf681dff49b930083e740bbd2c44bff886e59433e8ee9ab3ba0ff58/img42.jpg" /> Everything is connected, 2022 Photography Brad Dickson/ Louis Vuitton https://marisa-ferreira.com/A-Bigger-Splash-onging Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:38:35 +0000 Marisa Ferreira – Portuguese Oslo & London based Contemporary Artist & Public Art https://marisa-ferreira.com/A-Bigger-Splash-onging A Bigger Splash Stainless steel sculptures and a pavement, 2020-2026Commissioned by Skien Kommunefor Kverndalsgata, SkienProject leade: Tom-Eirik LønnerødArt Consultant: Kristine Wessel v/ Mesén The artwork consists of five stainless steel sculptures and a pavement made from a waste composite.
