THE ARTISTS
TWELVE WAYS TO CROSS THE THRESHOLD
In UMBRA|ES, Each artist activates a specific passage. It's not about styles or disciplines, but about operations of consciousness. Each project functions as an autonomous device that, when brought together with the others, constructs a common field of expanded experience. Here, the threshold is not a metaphor. It is a practice.
RAMÓN POUS
Ontology of feelingRamón Pous's work is situated in the realm where feeling precedes language. His practice understands perception as a form of direct knowledge, unmediated by rational categories. The body, both his own and others', becomes the site where the work unfolds. The threshold he proposes is not merely observed; it is inhabited.

HECTOR FALCÓN
Polysemous ellipsisHéctor Falcón employs fragmentation, omission, and ambiguity as conscious strategies. His works don't close off meanings, they open them up. Ellipsis is not absence, but latent potential. The threshold appears when meaning is suspended, forcing the viewer to complete or accept the incomplete.

DAVID TROICE
Ratio MundiDavid Troice's practice revolves around systems of order, scale, and interpretation of the world. His works question the frameworks through which we understand reality and propose shifts in perspective that deactivate the urgency of detail. The threshold is cognitive, an invitation to reframe.

KATYA GARDEA
D-Structures / Zoom OutIn Katya Gardea Browne's work, form is never definitive. Her practice is built upon constant mutation, visible correction, and the accumulation of decisions. Painting is a thought process in motion. The threshold is not crossed once, but continuously.

NICOLÁS GUZMÁN
Progressive paintingNicolás Guzmán's work conceives of painting as a living organism. Each layer records a state, a transformation, an internal transmutation. There is no final image, but rather a continuous process. The threshold manifests as a slow and conscious transition of matter toward another condition.

SEBASTIAN TORRES
TransmutationSebastián Torres works with the idea of profound transformation, both material and symbolic. His pieces retain the trace of the process as an essential part of their meaning. The work does not conceal change; it reveals it. The threshold is the point where something ceases to be what it was and becomes something else.

SAINT GUICHÓN
ElectroartIn Santo Guichón's work, energy, sound, and technology become tangible matter. His works operate through resonance rather than representation. The experience is not merely visual; it is vibratory. The threshold is acoustic, energetic, and corporeal.

DAMIÁN SUÁREZ
Times of gloryDamián Suárez's work lies between the epic and the introspective. "Times of Glory" doesn't allude to an idealized past, but rather to a dignity possible in the present. His pieces construct images of resistance and permanence. The threshold he proposes is ethical, a stance taken in relation to the time we inhabit.

LAURA MONTES
Originating bodyLaura Montes de Oca explores the body as a primary archive. In her work, the origin is not a fixed point, but an active force that is reactivated in the present. The body appears as a foundational threshold, a place where memory, time, and experience are inscribed.
VIEW ARTIST
CARLOS GÉNOVA
Time WarpIn Carlos Génova's practice, time folds, distorts, and materializes. His works generate fields where temporal perception is altered, producing experiences of suspension and displacement. The threshold is temporal, a break in linearity.
VIEW ARTIST
TO BE LIGHT
TrudelightIn Le Ser Deluz's work, light is not illumination, but structure. His pieces construct perceptual architectures where space folds and the gaze is disoriented. The threshold appears as a twist of the visible, a passage to another form of perception.
VIEW ARTIST
SOFIA TORMENTA
Zen FuturismSofía Tormenta articulates a poetics where speed and stillness coexist. Zen futurism proposes a state of expanded awareness, where the technological and the contemplative merge. The threshold is not a rupture, but a refinement, a lucid presence within the contemporary flow.
