It's a Living

Saenger Galería presents Untold Words by It's a Living in Casa Limantour, curated by Eduardo Luque.

After his solo presentation at the 12th Edition of Salón ACME in February 2025, It’s a Living reaffirms his partnership with Saenger Galería and, in collaboration with Casa Limantour, has developed Untold Words, a project specially designed for the indoor and outdoor spaces of Casa Limantour. It draws from the unique features of the building and the artist’s recent interest in exploring new materialities in his practice, which now includes both rigid, solid supports such as steel, and fragile, translucent ones like silk.

Curated by Eduardo Luque, Untold Words brings together a previously unseen group of paintings, sculptures, and installations that stem from the artist’s notebooks, where he collects a wide range of personal texts, including poems, confessions, notes, and reflections on everyday life. In this sense, the works in Untold Words resemble an anthology of the unspoken—a collection of writings that leave silence and private space behind to be shared and read aloud through his distinctive script and typography, thus creating a dialogue between the viewer, the surrounding space, and the artwork.

Encountering his practice makes it possible to temporarily suspend dominant thought and focus our attention instead on a present, immediate relationship with the work—through the forms, colors, and messages it contains. As we perceive the automated movements reflected in his images, in the natural flow with which the paint pours onto the canvas with continuous force over layers of words, we become participants in the composition’s inner rhythm.

Thus, when standing before the work—without projecting our ideas onto it, as is the case with the painting Sentiment(2025)—we engage in an affective act, one of joy and of simultaneous relation with both the gestural quality of the calligraphy and the content of the writing. This encounter encourages a form of focused attention in which we lose track of time, entering a state of total absorption and refuge.

Under these conditions, the artist reminds us, “words are also images”; and the text-images he creates call for constant interpretation and deciphering, with the ultimate aim of questioning our daily lives and generating a positive impact. In life as in art, there is no final meaning, only continuity. After all, it’s a form of living.
