Order in Chaos is an exhibition that brings together a body of works developed in 2025, framed within an artistic research that explores concepts such as transformation, identity, and the tension between nature and artificiality.

The core of the exhibition consists of a sculptural ensemble that includes:

– Two neon sculptures made of blown glass
– A limited edition of bronze sculptures, finished in various treatments (polished, chrome-plated, and black patina)
– A limited edition of hand-painted resin pieces
– A large-format sculpture (unique piece) measuring 120 x 90 x 150 cm, produced using bioplastic and ceramic filaments, 3D printed and hand-painted with bi-component paint

This sculptural group establishes a fluid dialogue with a selection of paintings created between 2023 and 2025. The works share a common concern with the hybrid and the indefinable, generating an expanded field where the pictorial manifests both on surfaces and in volumes.

As an integral part of the exhibition, a video art piece is presented, conceived as an expanded painting. This audiovisual work stems from one of the paintings in the series, extending its symbolic layers into the language of time, rhythm, and movement. The video was created in collaboration with artists Camilo Moreno and Javier Rodríguez, and features original music composed especially for this work.

Order in Chaos is conceived as a territory of material and conceptual exploration, where the artworks not only engage in dialogue with one another, but also invite the viewer to immerse themselves in a sensitive, open, and constantly transforming experience.

We live in a time marked by chaos and urgency, where everything seems to demand immediate answers. However, art is neither a quick fix nor a rushed solution.

In this exhibition, I am interested in opening spaces for imagination, where ideas, color, light, and matter intertwine in complex and detail-rich works that demand contemplation and an attentive gaze.

Order in Chaos invites the viewer to delve into these visual universes, to pause, and to allow the necessary space to discover the multiple layers of meaning and texture present in each piece. It is in that pause and immersion that new ways of perceiving and inhabiting the world emerge—thus opening a space for deep reflection and an openness to the uncertain and the possible.

As part of the exhibition, a free experimental workshop will be offered, aimed at art students and individuals developing projects related to the visual arts.

The exhibition incorporates NaviLens codes linked to an accessible audio guide. In addition, embossed images have been printed to allow tactile exploration by people with visual impairments.
