María Lago: A retrospective

The exhibition brings together the body of work that María Lago has produced over 30 years.

María Lago’s work mixes organic materials on the canvas, layer by layer, as if it was a living organism. Her work expresses the dialectic tension between nature and anticipation, perspective and context, in an attempt to rejoin spirit and matter. The strong expressionistic works employ primitive symbols and archetypal images to explore both the universal human condition and her individual experience.
