Carlos Estévez's 'Inmanencia' at ARTIZAR Tenerife Explores Island as Memory
Cuban artist Carlos Estévez showcases 'Inmanencia' at ARTIZAR Tenerife, transforming the island into a realm of memory and creativity. His pieces, created on both paper and canvas, depict symbolic maps filled with fantastical structures, hybrid beings, and cosmic elements, highlighting the common insular experiences of Cuba and the Canary Islands. Over the span of thirty years, Estévez's work delves into the interplay between the seen and the unseen, drawing on themes from science, philosophy, and spirituality. Each artwork serves as a distinct microcosm, featuring roaming lighthouses and celestial architectures. Claudia Taboada Churchman's curatorial text places the exhibition within a collective Atlantic narrative. The exhibition is scheduled for 2026 at ARTIZAR Tenerife.
