Part of the series Paseos: In "Paseos: Strolling through imagined stories" the spirit of Mexico’s culture emerges from the streets, blending everyday life with the extraordinary through the lens of magic realism. Inspired by the artist's trips to Mexico City and Oaxaca, the exhibition brings together a collection of mixed media work that captures the essence of the communities, celebrating the beauty, resilience and cultural pride found in these neighborhoods where people live, work, and dream.
We see the familiar—the street vendors, market dwellers and the street publicity—yet they are imbued with an energy that hints at a deeper, unseen world. In these images, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, allowing us to glimpse the magic that often goes unnoticed in our daily lives. Each piece is a narrative woven with elements of the surreal, echoing the magical realism tradition that has long been a cornerstone of Latin American literature and art.
"Paseos: Strolling through imagined stories" invites you to walk these streets with us, to feel their pulse, and to discover the stories that lie within.
