Worlds of Exile


   

Post-pandemic & Worlds of Exile are two series of paintings closely linked, conceived between Buenos Aires, New York, Barcelona and Madrid (end 2022 and beginning of 2023). Worlds of Exile was the second chapter of this larger group, painted mainly in Barcelona while migrating to Spain. Its title comes from an edition of Ursula Le Guin’s first three novels called “Worlds of Exile and Illusion”.
Exhibited at Hutchinson Modern & Contemporary, New York +
