Pablo Rulfo

Pablo knows how to speak in Biblical tones with the quick and the dead, because in his world the boundaries between history and legend, loneliness and the Beyond, are no more. He mixes his pigments with wax, and this is why his paintings awake many voices that continue murmuring in the colour-rich translucence. Like the prophet Ezequiel, Pablo is transported to a valley of dry bones, and he paints to infuse them with flesh and blood. He talks to them all day; he hears their stories all night. Each canvas is a memorial of this dialogue.









Ana Rosenzweig

Ana is an archaeologist who found the cities suspended in God’s judgement – Pompey and Herculaneum, Sodom, Gomorrah and Babylon. There Ana unearths these creatures suspended in the moment in which they hear God’s dictum… or is it rather that instant when they awake, incredulous, from the curse that held them prisoner for centuries?









Irma Grizá


Irma has positioned herself on the edge of light like an expert huntress, never rushing as she awaits her prey. She uses her brushes like weightless nets to capture butterflies in mid-air, and she shows us the instant when each butterfly’s flight turns to light in front of our dazzled eyes. Her brushes leave living traces in their wake -- something of the beating of those wings still pulses in the canvas each time we look at it.

Laura Echeverría

As an award-winning photographer, Laura is used to capturing scenes latent with possibilities within the confines of a frame. She snaps a magical instant in stories that are still unfolding in some enchanted universe. Her boxes are portals into hitherto unsuspected parallel universes… like those amber drops that captured creatures more ancient than history, preserving them intact to allow us to glance into other dimensions.













Artists in Mexico

"Oh, the sheer luck of artists in Mexico -- to live under such skies!"
