REFLECTIONS OF SILENCE
Exhibition from October 25 to November 25, 2025
Opening on October 25, 2025
Visits by appointment only.
In Reflections of Silence, María Villalón deepens her ongoing exploration of metal as a living and reflective surface. Through painted lines and engraved marks on aluminum, she transforms repetition into a meditative process, a dialogue between control and surrender.
Each gesture becomes a quiet rhythm, a pulse that emerges from the act of doing rather than from thought. The surface, polished and luminous, reflects the world around it yet distorts it, reminding us that perception is never absolute.
​
For Villalón, the act of working with metal is both physical and contemplative. It demands persistence, patience, and a silent awareness of time passing through the hands. As light shifts travels across the surface, the work appears to breathe, revealing the tension between stillness and motion, between reality and its reflection.
​
In this body of work, the artist invites the viewer into that same space of quiet observation, where repetition becomes reflection, and the material becomes a mirror for the inner landscape.
