• My latest crush is "Latino"
  Monica M. Bianca - Collector & member of ADIAF
  This exhibition, conceived for the inauguration of MIRA, aims to highlight Latin American artists who have aroused particular interest among collectors. Featuring 22 works by 16 artists from 10 private collections, the exhibition offers an overview of the thematic and formal explorations driving contemporary Latin American art.
  It presents a range of media, from abstraction to video, while reflecting on artistic identity in the modern context. She poses crucial questions about integrating Western influences without losing the indigenous or mestizo essence, and explores the renaissance of art rooted in the territory without plagiarizing pre-Columbian art.
