New Exhibition by Guatemalan artist César Pineda Moncrieff

La Antigua Galería de Arte proudly presents “Mosaico de Sueños” (Mosaic of Dreams), a solo exhibition by Guatemalan artist César Pineda Moncrieff. The exhibit will open Saturday February 6th, 2021, from 3pm to 6pm at La Antigua Galería de Arte, 5a. Avenida Norte #29, La Antigua Guatemala.

“Mosaic of Dreams is an invitation to enter a surrealist dreamscape of mystical, often whimsical and fairytale-like ruminations and characters. This exhibition highlights various engravings and etchings from artist César Pineda Moncrieff and is the culmination of an artistic career of over 15 years.

Moncrieff has refined his engraving and etching technique through study and experimentation to create diverse effects like the layering of colours, depth of perception, and capturing the essence of historical engravings.

César Pineda Moncrieff masterfully weaves the central theme of the passage of time through his art with symbolism such as the moon, the sun, or a clock juxtaposed with philosophical reflection and a form of magical surrealism.  An hourglass tarot card, a nightscape, wistful glances, a fairy in the garden, a walking clock holding a key, a snake melded to a heart are all, but examples of the many ways Moncrieff has found to express his search for an existential truth.”  Sonya Poller, December 2020.

Visiting hours: From Thursday to Monday from 10 am to 6 pm. Closed on Tuesday and Wednesday
