At Fundación Kawsay, our exhibitions are living experiences—woven spaces where art becomes a tool for memory, transformation, and connection. We don't simply present works—we create bridges between worlds, times, and ways of knowing.
A core value that guides our curatorial practice is integration.
We are deeply committed to breaking boundaries between disciplines, traditions, and formats. Each exhibition is an invitation to experience how different forms of art can co-create a single, coherent voice—one that speaks to both the ancient and the emerging.
We combine painting, film, photography, poetry, spoken word, music, and sound with philosophy, storytelling, and technological research. We bring together the intuitive and the intellectual, the sacred and the experimental, to create meaningful and multisensory journeys. This approach reflects our belief that true innovation is rooted in ancient wisdom—and that the future of art lies in remembering what it means to be human, connected to the Earth, and guided by purpose.
Our exhibitions often emerge from collaborative processes—between artists, thinkers, indigenous elders, and contemporary creators. They are nourished by rituals, dialogue, and deep research. Some unfold in galleries and cultural centers, others in nature, online platforms, or hybrid formats.
We see art as medicine—not only to heal the past, but to activate the present and dream new possibilities.
In every exhibition, we ask:
What happens when we listen to the voice of the land through color, sound, movement, and story?
What truths emerge when ancient symbols meet digital landscapes?
What new worlds can we imagine when we integrate heart and mind, past and future, art and life?
We invite you to explore, to feel, and to remember.
Because at Kawsay, to exhibit is not to show—it is to offer a path.
EL VUELO DEL CONDOR
( The Journey of the Condor)
A collection inspired by the Condor, the greatest bird in the Andes, for its presence and symbolism, and importance in the Andean imaginary, the Condor is the representation of the soul and spirit of the Andean cosmovision, in this work I start to embrace the presence of the Condor and the immensity of its vast journey, making possible the connection between the north and the south of the world, and making true old and amazing prophecies.
With YANANTIN, painting became an expression of duality and unity. In the Andean philosophy, yanantin represents the harmonious coexistence of opposites—light and shadow, earth and sky, masculine and feminine. Similarly, Zen invites stillness within contrast, showing how balance emerges not from erasing differences but from embracing them.
Through painting, I give form to these ancient truths. Each brushstroke is a meditation, a moment of stillness and focus where I let these philosophies guide me. The canvas becomes a sacred space where opposites meet—bold colors and soft hues, sharp lines and fluid shapes, the physical and the spiritual.
In this process, I find not only harmony but also transformation. Painting is where I reconcile my inner tensions, where I let dualities coexist without conflict. It is where complexity finds simplicity, and simplicity reveals its infinite depth.
Painting is my bridge between thought and feeling, between the visible and the invisible. It allows me to translate the ineffable wisdom of yanantin into something tangible, something that can be shared. It is my way of inviting others into this journey of connection, where they too can reflect on their own dualities and their own harmonies.
Ultimately, painting is my act of gratitude—towards the Andean and Zen traditions that inspire me, towards the materials and tools that bring my visions to life, and towards those who witness and engage with my work. It is my offering to the timeless dance of opposites, my way of saying: I see you. I honor you. I am part of you.
