Description

From Jesus Mejia’s “Dreamland” series.

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

In this Dreamland series, Mejia presents a luminous shift into the subconscious, trading realism for sensory and symbolic landscapes shaped by dreams, childhood memory, and emotional release.

In “Sueño Esmeralda” (Emerald Dream), Mejia isolates a single green sphere, set against a dark background with fragments of warm, textured drapery. Unlike the more narrative compositions in his Dreamland series, this painting focuses on detail and form.

The orb’s surface is smooth and reflective, hinting at material weight while remaining ambiguous in scale. The surrounding fabric appears like roots or flames, introducing movement without clarifying context. This emerald dream painting presents a moment suspended between abstraction and observation, where colour, texture, and composition are prioritised over figure or story.
