About this Event

On Saturday, November 22, Mundo Arte Gallery will inaugurate the exhibition “Journeys,” a collective show featuring artists Néstor Arenas, Brooke Frank, Facundo Fierro, and Raphaël del Rosario. Through the medium of printmaking, the exhibition proposes a passage through the diverse paths of creative thought, exploring the processes that lead to the conception of an image and the materialization of the artistic imagination.

“Journeys” invites reflection on the creative process understood as a complex terrain where inspiration, intuition, and conceptual construction intertwine. At times, creation arises from an external stimulus—an image, a text, a memory, an emotion, or a fleeting idea—that serves as a starting point and is transformed into an entirely new visual proposal. At other times, that creative impulse springs from a deeper source: from forms or symbols the artist carries within, archetypes that surface from the unconscious and manifest as recurring structures in their visual language. In this process, the visible and the internal engage in dialogue, revealing a symbolic network that connects personal experience with the universal.

The works resulting from these processes transcend purely formal considerations, situating themselves on a symbolic and sensorial plane. They are polysemic proposals that appeal to the viewer’s subjectivity, inviting them to activate their own interpretation and to traverse—through their gaze—the imaginary landscapes the artists construct. In these works, multiple layers of meaning and poetic resonance merge with the technique of printmaking, generating a space for contemplation and inner reflection.

Each piece is, in itself, the visible imprint of a thought that moves through distinct stages: from the initial spark of inspiration to the invention and realization of a visual form that reflects its creator’s imaginative universe. Thus, “Journeys” not only presents the results of artistic creation, but also the network of decisions, intuitions, and explorations that shape this inner journey.

Ultimately, the exhibition emerges as a space for dialogue between different aesthetics and individual processes, where imagination, technique, and the artist’s enduring need to connect the viewer with their expansive creative world converge.
