Art of the Americas – 2025

Verónica Di Toro, Buenos Aires, Argentina, (1974). Grid Series Nº32, 2020

Acrylic on canvas
160 x 160 cm

Over the years, Di Toro has perfected his pictorial technique; just like in music, there are those who stand out not only for their wide vocal range but also for the precision with which they manage the silences between sounds. What I always find interesting about his paintings is that surgical precision in the cut, with which he makes the force of one color against another visible.

Joel Grossman, Bogotá, Colombia, (1976). #36 Approximate Grid, 2017

Oil and gold leaf on canvas
100 x 100 cm

Expand

For Joel Grossman art is a residue of humanity. A humanity that more than 20 thousand years ago gave testimony of its existence in the cave of Lascaux… Volume, appearance, spaciousness are synonyms of an aesthetic rooted in the traditions and rituals that connote culture.

Mariana Acuña Jiménez, Santiago, Chile, (1968). Lives in Italy Dragon and Heart, 2025

Mixed technique on canvas
70 x 70 cm

Expand

Making use of her unending imagination, she includes every bit of her surroundings, reaching the dimension of dream worlds, opening to a spontaneous and candid spirituality. In her paintings we find all the strength of the colors from South America, which together with the graphic power, brings life to original pictorial settings where imaginary characters, traces, animals and symbols freely intermingle.

Vanessa Mac-Auliffe Letelier, Washington, USA, (1970). Terrestrial Energy, 2016

Oil on canvas
180 x 180 cm

Expand

…inspired by music, Vanessa Mac-Auliffe composes abstract oil paintings that act as a portrait of sound. Imploding, exploding, and dripping like artfully melted plastic, her works utilize a rich color palette, ranging from aquatic tones to sanguine bursts of sun.

Gloria Frugone, Santiago de Chile, Chile, (1971). Pigeons in Flight, from the series Reflections on Light, 2025

High-weight, acid-free paper, cut, folded, and acrylic paint
110 x 77 cm

Expand

Her work focuses on investigating the behavior of light as a perceptive and material phenomenon. Using paper as the main medium, her art explores the possibilities of this material in dialogue with geometry, employing techniques such as folding, cutting, pleating, and layering. Her formal approach gives rise to abstract compositions that reveal the interaction between light and shadow, generating active surfaces where the movement of light becomes almost tactile, perceptible only through sustained contemplation.

Reynaldo Díaz Zesati, Nuevo León, Mexico, (1977). The Rock, from the series “Landscapes” , 2011

Oil on canvas
120 x 150 cm

Expand

…in his works the central axis is the place occupied by man in time and his circumstance. The themes tackled in the series of his paintings is rather ludic, searching in the anecdotes from childhood… The series “Landscapes” is based on the idea of the landscape and the construction of the space through the use of the line. His work is eminently auto-referential, trying to inquire in experiences of his growing age, as a way to understand who he is nowadays.

Jorge Moroni, Valparaíso, Chile. (1980). Your Colors, 2023

Oil and acrylic on canvas
70 x 50 cm

Expand

The artwork Your Colors is inspired by the great Chilean actor Héctor Noguera—his qualities and remarkable theatrical work. In this piece, there is no flamboyance, only meticulous spatula work that evokes for me the craft of being an actor. The colors act on our perception to influence and shift our mood, just as the actor does with our view of the world of performance. In both art and acting, we cease to be passive subjects and become active participants in art—we respond to the true stimulus of being a spectator.

Alfonso Fernández, Santiago, Chile, (1969). Winter landscape 1 , 2010-2011

Oil on canvas
88 x 135 cm

Expand

Alfonso Fernández always combines the landscape with the reflection of his portraits, the moving figure and the signal of humanity that he inserts in its whole, be it in abstract or figurative form, or simply in a calligraphic gesture. To this end, he makes use of traditional tools such as painting, drawing, sculpture and engraving in order to express his objectives.

Claire Becker. Paris, France, (1964). Lives in MéxicoRain on my window, 2007

Bas-relief on crystal resin
30 x 30 cm.

Expand

… the way in which Claire Becker utilizes the materials turns them into a kind of mother of invention and form plasticity… Evidently Claire Becker has taken the road of art precisely because it has no rules… However, her work also offers a sensual aspect, more metaphysical, where the objects become visual poems of great beauty..
