Cartografías del Alma invites viewers to reflect on their own internal journeys and the invisible maps that guide them through life.

Eternal Guerrero: A Journey in Color

Blending traditional techniques with contemporary interpretations, Eternal Guerrero is a tribute to Kai’s heritage, using pigments crafted from organic earth materials to celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of his homeland.

Aurora De Armendi Sobrino’s watercolors begin by repeating and overlapping forms that appear in the artist’s mind or are inspired by memories of the land she has inhabited. She lets the imagery evolve in the process of drawing, exploring color combinations and different ways of making marks on the paper.
