CURRENT EXHIBITION

HABITAR LA SOMBRA - María Conejo

MARCH - JUNE 2026

In Inhabiting the shadow, María Conejo presents a recent selection of work in which a mural and a group of ceramics function as the conceptual core of the exhibition. Conceived as an expanded landscape, these pieces open a reflection on the body understood as a territory of transit, memory, and revelation. From this initial gesture, the paintings deepen this investigation and unfold a narrative where anatomy is transformed into a symbol and the enigma is sustained as a form of knowledge.

María Conejo's work proposes a view in which consciousness occupies a primary place in both artistic creation and human experience. Through her compositions, the artist builds landscapes full of sensitivity and understanding, where body, mind and spirit are articulated as fundamental axes. The conjugation of symbols inscribed in her images transports us to spaces of harmony and contemplation, from which the female body is presented as a visible, integral and ambivalent being: living, ancestral and essential in the processes of creation and transformation of humanity.

The approach to the female body, along with the symbols and conceptual roots that run through Conejo's work, leads us to multiple layers of reading. From the internal energies that overflow the bodily limits, appealing to hermetic principles such as “what is inside is outside” to the idea of knowledge as an act of revelation and expansion, the artist evokes imaginaries linked to the tree of life of the Kabbalah and the flame of knowledge that burns deep in the human experience.

“the forest clearing is a center into which it is not always possible to enter; it is another realm that a soul inhabits and guards.”
