WE'LL SEE
SOLO EXHIBITION - Galería Arteconsult, Panama City, Panama. May 6 – June 12, 2025
“We'll See” is inspired by the artist's personal mantra growing up in Venezuela, a place where many promises were made but few were realized. "We'll See" is an armor of apathy. It is a cynical hope, a form of power behind which the powerless can take refuge. It is a way to adapt to landscapes of massive indifference.

The pieces in this series depict these barren backdrops alongside children, sheep, and shrouded figures, exploring themes of innocence, adaptation, avoidance, and hope. We have naked and naive desires, and we have calluses that form over those desires, protecting us from hurt and disappointment. "We'll See" is an empathetic reflection on this reality, balanced between gratitude and regret.
The exhibition also invites us to inhabit the interval between what we see and what we sense. Through light, reflections, and subtle distortions, the works transform small boxes and mirrored surfaces into perceptual spaces. A faint glimmer moves across the drawings, multiplying them into fragments and echoes. Nothing appears entirely fixed; the image shifts as the viewer moves. In this quiet choreography of reflections, the spectator unknowingly becomes part of the scene.

The exhibition presented a series of 26 paintings in graphite, wax, and acrylic, each housed in a custom wooden box fitted with metallic lining. These small boxes function as intimate stages where the drawings multiply through mirrored side panels. As light glides across the surfaces, landscapes and figures appear to expand endlessly within the boxes, creating the illusion of a world far larger than the object that contains it. The reflections bend and fragment the image, producing a visual mirage in which space seems to open beyond its limits. Yet, in the end, they remain simple boxes. This tension between expansion and containment echoes the instability of perception itself—where nothing is entirely what it seems, much like the shifting reality of growing up in Venezuela.
