"The Mystery of Abstract Minds" Opens in the Signature Gallery and Side Gallery
2026-02-19 18:00 - 21:00
A Journey Beyond Words:

Step into a world where feeling transcends language. We are thrilled to invite you to “The Mystery of Abstract Minds,” an exhibition that honors abstraction not just as a style, but as a living, breathing process.

This dynamic collection brings together the singular talents of four artistic voices—Ileana Miquilena, Jaime Parra, Raysa Molina, and Roberto Gonzalez—inviting the viewer into a powerful and unexpected dialogue. The exhibition weaves together their differing approaches to abstraction, highlighting how each is shaped by a reliance on intuition, seasons of deep introspection, and raw emotional truth. These artists possess the courage to bypass the exterior world and instead reveal profound inner realities. Their work challenges us to sit with ambiguity, proving that art can communicate powerfully without the need for a conventional, certain narrative.

On view February 19, 2026 – March 14, 2026

What are the ancestral echoes that resonate and guide us in the era of social media and A.I.?
How can our Latin roots help us stand firm through the winds of change?
How will our actions, our work and our love resonate?
