In the exhibition *Inner Garden*, flowers play a pivotal role in the visual narrative, presented in intricate compositions that transform into abstraction. Vibrant hues of red, magenta, and purple evoke passion and vitality, while the grays introduce a reflective melancholy. Two prominent portraits of women surrounded by lush flowers stand out, exploring the duality between human and natural beauty. The exhibition invites reflection on solitude within a beautiful setting, symbolizing the tension between connection and introspection in our relationship with nature and ourselves.
On September 19th, Galería Luisa Pita will present *AL OTRO LADO DEL ESPEJO* by sculptor Fernando Suárez Reguera. With a background in Fine Arts, Suárez Reguera is known for merging the organic with the mechanical, utilizing iron, bronze, resins, mirrors, and other materials.
The exhibition explores the perception of space and movement through suspended sculptures that defy the laws of physics and create multiple perspectives using mirrors. The show also addresses the relationship between humanity and nature, reflecting themes of stability, growth, and impermanence within a context of chaos and transformation.
