WYN 317 Gallery is pleased to present “Symbiotic Behaviour”, a series of new works by Miami based artist, Ernesto Maranje. This highly anticipated solo exhibition is Maranje’s second at WYN 317.

For this exhibition, Ernesto adds human portraits to some of his paintings stressing the oneness between humans, animals and plant life. Animal portraits also show a depth of shared connections with all living things. Behaviour is mutually dependent with other organisms, coexisting in harmony. Ernesto Maranje’s art is not only beautiful and unique, it also brings to life environmental issues by portraying symbiotic behaviour in all forms of life.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Ernesto Maranje created a mural on one of the main gallery walls that best summons the purpose of “Symbiotic Behaviour”.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ernesto Maranje is a Miami based painter, illustrator and muralist who discovered his passion for art at the age of 27 while in the Coast Guard. Maranje uses his vivid imagination to portray the unity of animals and plants by pulling different segments from each and somehow making it a cohesive whole. Not only is the result pleasing to the eye, it reminds the viewer of our connection with nature. Ernesto’s purposeful art is a reminder of the relationship all living creatures share with each other. His message is especially significant today when so much conscious protection is needed for our survival. Colorful, whimsical and hinting at so many possibilities and interpretations, Ernesto’s art is one of a kind.
