Adrián Arguedas: The Masquerade of Everyday Moments

Through images of masquerade, Arguedas creates narratives that explore the dichotomy between appearance and reality.
Guillermo Tovar Carazo: Enchanting Realms of Fantasy
Guillermo Tovar Carazo combines contemporary realism with fantastical elements to create vibrant, imaginative worlds. His work, inspired by Costa Rica's lush landscapes and 1980s fantasy films, presents imagined human and animal figures, each with its own backstory.
The bright colors contrast with underlying tension, created by the unfamiliarity and surreal nature of his figures. Tovar Carazo examines the deeper narratives embedded within each character, enriching the Latin American art scene with his distinctive storytelling approach.
