Feeling Green, New York City, April 25, 2024.
New York, NY — Studio Marlow is pleased to present Feeling Green, an open studio with a selection of works by Maria Elena Valdes. Feeling green reminds us that renewal and rebirth are possible, we’re just getting started and excited for what is to come.
The following selection of photographs from María Elena spans an 8 year timeline from 2017 until present. Analog 35 mm scans, green hues printed in cotton paper. Documentary style images that cultivate a narrative of colorful forms and quirky notations.
Grounded in daily experiences and encounters around the world and mainly in Mexico, her birth country. Maria Elena’s work confronts profound questions of existence and proposes to embrace wonder in the mundane.
Paraiso by Concordia, New York City, September 21st — October 27th 2023.
New York, NY —The first edition of Concordia Art Show presents Paraíso—a group exhibit featuring works by artists María Elena Valdés (Puebla), Rodrigo Chapa (Monterrey), Salome Coronel (Quito), and Alex De la Torre (Barranquilla).
Curated by Danielle Juliao, the exhibit taps into a sensitive journey to decode
an amalgam of raw, intricate, warm, unprecedented ideas and visual stories, all connected by one very genuine and recurrent principle – a pursuit of joy, and
how it is approached by Latin artists of different mediums and backgrounds.
By shifting away from the world’s predominant examinations of politics in the region, this exhibition looks to shed light upon Latin America’s quotidian beauty, liberties and complexities.
