Cristina Mittermeier is a fine artist, conservationist, and one of the most celebrated photographers of her generation. She has always believed that beauty can change the world. Hope brings together 130 of her most luminous images: indigenous communities, wild landscapes, the quiet power of women and nature in harmony. With a foreword by Robert Redford, it's the kind of book you hold onto as a reminder, in uncertain times, that there is still so much worth fighting for.

Hilton Contemporary will present "Ars Poetica: Hope for the Oceans", featuring celebrated artists Sibylle Szaggars Redford, Arica Hilton, and Sophie Matisse.

Sibylle Szaggars Redford is a German-born multimedia environmental artist whose work has been exhibited throughout Europe, Monaco, Peru, Singapore, Japan, Suriname, and the United States, reflecting a career built on global vision and environmental commitment. In 2016, she was selected for the US State Department's Art in Embassies Program, representing the US Embassy in Paramaribo, Suriname, where, after visiting the country's rainforests and engaging with its Indigenous Peoples, she created ten site-specific pieces placed on permanent display at the embassy. This body of work stands as a testament to her ability to translate place, culture, and environment into enduring art. She was married to Robert Redford from 2009 to 2025.

Arica Hilton is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, and global advocate who uses her creativity to raise awareness of humanitarian and environmental issues worldwide. Known for first-hand experiences ranging from hiking the Himalayas to documenting ocean threats on the Elysium Coral Triangle Expedition, she authored the poetry collection "Let Me Tell You About Winds" (2024), with an introduction by Nobel-nominated poet Adonis, served as inaugural artist-in-residence for Immersive Van Gogh Chicago, and founded Arts Poetica Global. Her acclaimed series "I Flow Like Water," focused on water conservation, has been exhibited internationally across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and China. She is based in Chicago.

Sophie Matisse is an American contemporary artist best known for her distinctive body of work engaging directly with art history. She first gained recognition for her "Missing Person" paintings, in which she appropriated iconic, recognizable images from art history and reimagined them by embellishing or subtracting key figures, inviting viewers to reconsider familiar masterpieces through questions of absence, memory, and artistic ownership. Her artistic lineage is equally notable: she is the daughter of sculptor Paul Matisse, and her great-great-grandfather was the legendary French painter Henri Matisse. Despite this extraordinary heritage, Sophie Matisse has forged her own distinct creative identity within the broader currents of art history.
