Agaves

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

 

AGAVES presents a body of pictorial work developed by esterflorestravesa from a prolonged residence in Cuernavaca, the result of a profound experience of observation and coexistence with the Mexican landscape.

​

The agave, a plant of Mexican origin with a strong sculptural character, becomes the symbolic axis of the exhibition. Beyond its literal representation, the artist is interested in the internal rhythm of this species: its resilience, its symmetry, its silent strength, and its persistent presence in the landscape.

​

The series marks a significant transition in Esterflorestravesa's practice . Influenced by the light, vegetation, and atmosphere of the tropics, the artist expands her chromatic palette and painterly gesture, moving away from the characteristic sobriety of her earlier stages to explore more intense and nuanced colors.

RELATIONSHIP WITH SPACE

 

Galería Nueva Ciudad de México presents itself as an ideal space to house this body of work, allowing for a leisurely and contemplative experience that enhances the sensory experience of the paintings. The dialogue between the works and the exhibition space amplifies the interpretation of the agave as a symbol of rootedness, permanence, and transformation.

IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE

 

AGAVES is an exhibition that celebrates the relationship between painting and territory. The show invites the viewer to pause, observe, and connect with the forms and silences that inhabit the landscape, offering an intimate and reflective experience.

​

The project also serves as a testament to the artist's residency process and how the environment transforms artistic practice, reaffirming ACERT's commitment to supporting long-term processes.
