The colors and shapes of @lunaelisamaria take on a new life, shedding off the wounds and transforming into the language of "The wounds heal at night".

My visit to @gachiprietogaleria with the artist guiding me through her world, revealed more than a series of works; it revealed a transition, a personal and artistic metamorphosis that goes beyond mere aesthetics. Luna, who used to find solace in the rigidity of black and white, has broken her own structure after an injury and personal challenges, pouring her soul into the canvas with a palette that blends like emotions at dawn. The breaking of an ankle among other hardships only fueled her creative fire, pushing her towards a chromatic awakening behind the scenes, working with what she had at hand, a story of resilience and rebirth.

In the conversation, Luna talked to me about how her body and her art healed together, a nocturnal mutation that gave the title to this exhibition. The window, a figure previously absent, now materializes in her works, framing the colors and nesting forms that demand to be experienced in three dimensions, transforming the perception of the artistic object from something untouchable to something that seeks human interaction.

The exhibition "The wounds heal at night" is a journey, not only through Luna's artistic evolution but also through her personal journey, culminating in three-dimensional objects that, although rough in form, invite a unique dynamic. We also talked about that state between wakefulness and sleep, where her mind becomes active, a liminal space that now manifests itself in each piece.
In "The wounds heal at night", curated by @carocuervobudd, Luna offers us a space where art is not only seen, but felt; where interaction completes the work and the viewer becomes an integral part of the creative process.

The invitation is open: visit the exhibition and be part of this experience where every gradient of color is a testimony to the wounds that, in the stillness of the night, found their way to healing.

Behind her, two installations stand out: a series of paintings with color gradients and a geometric hanging sculpture in blue and green tones, representing the intersection of geometric art and the interaction of colors.
