Arte Laguna opinion

'The work “Hello, my name is blue” (2023) by Esther López Navarro, selected by the jury of the 18th Edition of the Arte Laguna Prize, stands out for the artist’s imagination and originality in blending various disciplines, including cinema, painting, performing arts, documentary, and visual storytelling. The artwork has a hybrid nature, unfolding across multiple narrative layers and through a varied compositional rhythm. Moreover, the artist demonstrates a remarkable sensitivity in connecting different social and geographical contexts, intertwining Korean identity with her own Spanish background. The work represents a significant example of overcoming cultural barriers.'

The process in which the artist's work lives. When does the work belong to the one who observes? The work ceases to belong to the artist to exist and take on a life of its own. The free interpretation of art. Each one seeks their own meaning, their own expression. Art as a mirror of ourselves. Art as a dialogue.
