With MAYO FLORIDO, we celebrate color and the arrival of a fertile season, bringing together works infused with the energy of spring—a force that affirms, awakens, and opens new possibilities for life. Here, to bloom is joy, passion, synchronicity, expansion, and art.
This will be Paula Barragán’s first exhibition with us, and I couldn’t be happier to introduce her work to you. Paula is one of the most established Ecuadorian artists in the American market, with works in important Latin American and North American collections, and an international presence in highly prestigious museums. I must admit her work was love at first sight: her intense, vibrant forms and colors evoked my memories of the overwhelming force of Ecuadorian forests.
As she says herself: “The equatorial jungle is a constant source of inspiration that led me to collect seeds of many different shapes, transforming them into prints and impressions like those I have brought to Madrid.” Paula explores different media and materials in her search for a personal language, working especially with printmaking, painting, collage, textiles and digital printing, with results that leave no one indifferent.
The work of Mexican artist Roxana Huerta is equally personal and deeply connected to nature. Her practice emerges from a careful listening to natural cycles. In her pieces dwell expansion, pause, transformation, and the essential beauty of life. Through a sensitive and abstract language, she invites us to step away from the accelerated rhythm of the city and attune ourselves to a deeper, more serene, and luminous dimension of human experience.
With Roxana, nature is not represented—it is evoked. It becomes presence, breath, and memory. Each piece opens a space for contemplation and reminds us that we, too, are part of these same rhythms of change, gestation, fullness, and rebirth.
