In an environment where spirituality and art intertwined, the Altos de Chavón Art Gallery gave a formal opening to the exhibition “Ephemeral” by renowned Spanish artist Matoya-Martínez Echevarría. The event took place on Wednesday, April 1st, in a new space of the gallery located at La Marina in Casa de Campo.

The exhibition, born from a special invitation by the Fanjul Family, represents a transcendental achievement in Matoya's trajectory, whose work is characterized by being an echo of a transformed life and a reflection of her own rebirth. What began as an instinctive and self-taught passion has evolved into a visual language that transcends the visible to connect with the viewer's deepest emotions.

During the inaugural ceremony, which began at 6:30 p.m., prominent personalities from the Casa de Campo community gathered to witness an evening filled with symbolism. One of the most emotional moments of the night was the participation of Victoria Vázquez, the artist's daughter, who performed two musical pieces linked to the exhibition's narrative. Vázquez shared with attendees how faith, life stories, and music have been the driving forces behind the creation of each of her mother's pieces.

Art as a testimony of the soul

The aesthetic proposal of Matoya-Martínez Echevarría is notable for its technical freedom. Unbound by academic schools, the artist uses a palette of organic colors—blues, greens, whites, grays, and stone tones—that evoke serenity and nature. Her creative process is equally sensorial, using a palette knife, her own hands, and even fire to give texture and soul to her canvases.

The exhibition will remain open to the public until April 9.
