OPENING RECEPTION with the Artist: Friday, August 22nd, 7:00 PM
As if performing a serialized act, Florentino Molero approaches his mirages in a face-to-face encounter between Yin and Yang, black and white, night and day, the certain and the uncertain… intoxicating his arbitrary compositions with form and color. His characters, like pieces on an idyllic board game of life, pose impassively, improvising constructions that drift away from reality to reunite with figures full of scenic sharpness. Florentino’s work possesses a peculiar visual charm, establishing a dialogue with the viewer that has led him to win the most prestigious international awards, making him one of the most popular authors in the world of photography today.
A body of work full of evocative imagery unfolds within the magical realism presented by the author, revealing significant sensations of daily life. This surrealism connects familiar visions—much like dreams—and upon awakening, we glimpse that these mirages, half-reality and half-fiction, are the pure reflection of our empirical existence.
Color is part of the composition, and wit is part of the project.
This is not a conventional exhibition; the artistic manifestation distills ingenuity, creativity, and wit within a refined magical realism, resulting in an originality that is highly praised by the public.
