    Maíra Senise: Pies y Manos

    🌙🌹 "Sprinkled throughout this realm are Senise’s works, acting as portals into a universe of totems – from the moon to hearts within hearts, stars to spirals, each offering oblique views into a world waiting to be discovered. These totems construct a home that we yearn for, where memories, motifs, and fragments intertwine, creating new lifeworlds from found objects." - Xiaoxi Chen

    Maíra Senise is a Brazilian artist who has been based in New York City since 2015. In her paintings and sculptures, Senise constructs an imaginary realm where disconcerting fables and everyday feminine ornaments converge. This creative endeavor disrupts the passivity inherent in a seemingly childlike universe by deviating from conventional forms, intertwining elements from both the human and animal kingdoms.

    Embark on a journey of enchantment and introspection as we invite you to explore the mesmerizing world of Maíra Senise at the upcoming "Pies y Manos" Exhibition in Mexico City.

    From Mar 16 to Apr 16, 2024.

    Mariana Paniagua in Sweden: Every spoke like a fall

    "Instead of positioning herself in front of a landscape to represent it, Mariana envisions herself as being within and traversed by it, reevaluating her own scale by subtly integrating herself as just another element, thereby setting aside the misleading perspective of a contemplative or omniscient eye. The artist reimagines how the world is seen: the grass, the texture of the mud, and the soil’s irregularity, from the gaze of an ant or the branching roots of a mushroom delving into deep, tiny corners. In doing so, she invites us to perceive ourselves as a small part of the entirety, rather than its focal point." - Kristell Henry (Islera Co-Founder)

    Islera and NSWF presents Every spoke like a fall by Mariana Paniagua in Gothenburg, Sweden, as part of their second collaboration.

    From Feb 29 to Mar 28, 2024.

Un arco subacuático, 2024

by Mariana Paniagua

Born in Mexico City in 1994, Mariana embarked on her artistic journey against the backdrop of a city brimming with creativity.

A graduate of Visual Arts from UNAM's Faculty of Arts and Design, she expanded her creative knowledge through a Diploma in Editing from the same university. Her professional experience includes serving as a juror at the Julio Castillo National Painting Biennial in 2018 and facilitating a children's painting workshop at the Siqueiros Public Art Room, INBA. These experiences have enabled her to embrace both ends of the artistic spectrum, with the goal of bridging the gap between youthful imagination and mature expression.

Her work unfolds as an accumulation of layers of time, made evident by her creative process of constant making and remaking, allowing the material aspect of painting to leave its mark on the canvas. This visual representation of presence and absence mirrors the human act of making mistakes, embodying the potential for change and transformation.

Mariana's artistic trajectory has earned her recognition twice through the Young Creators program sponsored by FONCA, in its 2016-2017 and 2018-2019 generations.
