The Second Horizon is a return to painting for multidisciplinary artist Gonzalo Varela.

His paintings in oil, acrylic, and mixed media, imagine future worlds built on the ruins of past societies. Inspired by emerging AI evolutions, The Second Horizon flips the hierarchy between humanity and machines, and questions whether the post-human form represents evolution or extinction. The result is an unsettling collection that challenges the boundaries between the real and the artificial, the biological and the synthetic.

Approaching painting as part of storytelling and a slow creative process, Gonzalo says,

“I start from chaos and confusion in search of light and poetry. I believe humanity is lost only to find itself again.”

Gonzalo was born in Argentina, where he studied art at the University of La Plata, where he later went on to teach. He then worked in Barcelona for ten years with a collective art studio, before arriving in Melbourne in 2009 where he founded the Magic Lantern Studio with artist Lucy Parkinson. Gonzalo is now settled in Fish Creek, South Gippsland, where he has lived since 2019.
