Description

From Jesus Mejia’s Vitacor al Soño Eterno (Diary of the Eternal Dream) series.

Note: This work will be included in Mejia’s show at the Casa Jiménez Sancho in Cartago. The show runs from 5 October 2024 – 28 February 2025.

Mejia is a prominent figure in Costa Rican contemporary art, known for his exploration of social issues through his bold figurative paintings. His practice, deeply influenced by Baroque tenebrism and Catholic symbolism, focuses on themes of faith, aging, and personal history.

In this series, Mejia turns his attention to the intimate and often challenging realities of old age and Alzheimer’s. Each artwork in this body of evocative figure painting offers a poignant reflection on memory, legacy, and the universal human experience of care, loss, and aging.

In “Ocaso 2,” Mejia presents an intimate moment, focusing on the face of a family member. The striking interplay of light and shadow, with most of the face shrouded in darkness and a beam of light illuminating the edge, enhances the emotional depth of this evocative figure painting.

Shipping: This artwork will be rolled for shipment.
