Next Saturday, December, 2, I’m opening my personal art exhibition “Becoming” about travel illustration and photography at the República de Las Letras, Cordova.
Here’s the official invitation for the opening, the exhibition is remaining the whole month.
About the exhibition
“Becoming” is an illustration and photography exhibition. I realized all Its artworks during my first travel to Morocco. That travel has somehow changed me in a way I can’t describe through words, but through art, through my travel sketchbook.
“Becoming”. I chose this word because it talks about movement.
We all come from a placeーour roots, our past, we pass through anotherーour present, and we leaveーour future.
Inside of this movement, that’s life, we can give ourselves the great opportunity of traveling; which permits us to know ourselves and the other. When I speak of the other, I mean someone different from us, who’s sharing this earth and living this epoch, but who’s doing it through a different filter, a different way of living. Our environment affects our convictions, our experience shapes our idea of freedom or possibility. Thus, a travel can not only bring us out of our reality, but give us the chance to change, too; as long as we are willing to open our eyes and question ourselves.
With this exhibition, for the first time, I’m sharing publicly my travel sketchbook, my way of filtering the reality and traveling. With this exhibition, “Becoming”, I close this year that started in Morocco and follows with art.
