About the Item

Nature is a central theme in Alejandra's work, and with this surreal landscape, we can notice her profound curiosity about the cycles that occur in the natural world that turn out to be transformative and ever-changing. In addition to integrating elements of the natural world, the artist makes extensive reference to the realm of dreams, which she constantly records in her journal. So the work results in a surreal landscape inhabited by these magical beings that could exist in other realities. But this piece, in particular, is a reference or a quote to William Blake´s line engraving "The Gates of Paradise" which has represented a big inspiration for Alejandra's work. This piece is part of an exposition (currently on exhibit in Mexico City called "Jardín Particular" which stands for Particular Garden or Private Garden. Alejandra´s work invites the spectator to dive into her own particular garden, which she cultivates in her heart. She evokes transformation, change, movement, and nature.

"Sueño con un centauro 3", centaur, vintage, surrealist, figurative painting
Located in Ciudad de México, MX
Enveloped by outstretched paintings, Gonzalo García reveals the ever-present ghosts of our past and present in a delicate swirl of color, light, and flesh. These deeply visceral displays of animals, bodies, and mythological creatures come to life in his oil paintings' palette of soft tones. There is a struggle to find balance, a tension between fortitude and fragility, safety and vulnerability, masculinity and femininity, and even life and death. From his canvases to his wallpaper pieces, viewers have immersed in a temporal disruption as García shares an investigation into his relationship to memory, dissecting his familial ties, and the pursuit of identity. "My work as a figurative painter examines my experience as a gay...
