Description

The ARTos Foundation is hosting, on June 15th 2011 and at 19:00, for one night only, Rocío Toral Mancheno’s exhibition, entitled Dialogo Partido (Severed Dialogue). The series Dialogo Partido is a response to modernity’s ever-increasing discord with nature. Using the Andean highlands of her native Ecuador as inspiration, Rocío Toral Mancheno presents subtle yet captivating pieces in the form of mezzotint, paintings, and works on paper.

An internal vision - Introspective landscapes

Until what point do we cease to recognize ourselves, negating, confusing, changing the same essence that permits us to live and develop? When did we cease to communicate?
