Fascinating or alluring at first glance, the paintings hide a mystery on the surface. They deserve to be lingered upon, to be discovered at different moments of the day or life, as they always hold a reserve of different meanings, an emerging potential energy.

Once under their spell, if we are willing to take the time and effort to contemplate them, these paintings invite us into singular universes where we oscillate between figuration and abstraction, between poetry and the transcription of the tangible world, between trompe l’oeil and a window onto a courtyard, between aesthetic journeys and palimpsests, between tales and legends, between disjointed subtitles of our world and luminous fairy-like visions.

The works presented in the exhibition Mysteries Beneath the Surface at Perspective Galerie in the Palacete Severo possess a mysterious power that captivates the attention and transports the viewer into elusive and fascinating worlds. Although the featured artists - Curro González,
Patricio Cabrera, Neil Farber, Cristine Guinamand, and Jas - come from diverse backgrounds, they share a singular ability to create works that exert an almost enchanting influence on the observer.

For the viewer, it is enough to let the charm take hold, to allow oneself to be impressed and immersed in the painting, to journey beneath the surface.
