Exhibition «La montaña en el mar»

About La montaña en el mar, by Mauro Cano

With this exhibition, Mauro Cano presents a new stage in his artistic production, where hyperrealism gives way to a more gestural and intimate contemporary realism. His oil paintings keep a remarkable technical rigor, but incorporate a freer brushwork that turns landscapes and figures into sensitive experiences.

The works depict bathers, bodies and everyday scenes shaped by wind, salt and memory. From the perspective of an artist born at the foot of the Andes, the sea appears as a territory of displacement and belonging, where the landscape also speaks of identity.
