Summary:

First solo exhibition at the MNBA by visual artist Sandra Vasquez de la Horra (Vina del Mar, Chile 1967, based in Germany since 1995), organized by the Denver Art Museum (DAM). The exhibition comprises about 190 works, including drawings, paintings and engravings that reflect the richness and versatility of the author's artistic practice, who develops visual narratives that combine autobiographical, symbolic and mythological elements, exploring themes such as identity, memory and the dreamlike. From her first drawings influenced by her roots in Chile, Vasquez de la Horra has developed a unique style, using paper not only as a surface for his drawings, but as a sculptural element in itself. His works made with graphite pencil, watercolor or with treatments of immersion in beeswax and with folds in the manner of a leporello, explore themes such as spirituality, folklore and mythology, incorporating female figures that are transformed into surreal landscapes, mountains and volcanoes.
