Blue Cluster Selected for “Art Inspired by Nature” 2026

Joice Gabriela’s mixed-media artwork Blue Cluster has been selected for “Art Inspired by Nature” 2026, an international online exhibition curated by Renee Phillips.

Presented by The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS, an initiative of Manhattan Arts International, the exhibition features work by more than 70 artists from around the world. The selected works explore nature’s physical beauty as well as its emotional, symbolic, and healing qualities.

Blue Cluster was created through Joice Gabriela’s observation of how minerals, crystals, and geological formations emerge through pressure, accumulation, and time. Its layered glass, resin, and mineral pigments suggest a living formation suspended between the depths of the ocean and the interior of the earth.

The color blue evokes water, distance, and restoration, while the reconstructed fragments reflect the artist’s belief that transformation can produce both strength and unexpected beauty.
