Observation, conceived as an act of meditative reclusion and introspection, is a characteristic assimilated by the artist during the process of creation. In this sense, Wilson Ilama’s work in his study and development of landscape recovers the importance of such action. His oeuvre is filled with profound emotions exposed only within a moment in space.

There appears to be a divide between art viewed inside museums and art made and viewed in city streets, a division in regard to the veracity or value of a work of art. Visual artist Alejandro Ramírez works inside this divide. He has based his artistic practice in less-traditional mediums, such as the music he composes as a DJ in his project Jalamelule. But the attention he places on action itself is what ultimately shapes his work.

Alejandra Ramírez León finds a balance between the use of documentary and pictorial approaches in her artistic practice. Her passion for the miniscule creates a hyperreal refinement over the canvas, transforming the oil to what the untrained eye defines as photographic style. Cinematic nuances dominate her work as well; by engaging a play of light and shadow, she presents the audience with an opportunity for dynamic visual involvement.

In a world governed by generality, quickness, and alacrity, attention to detail is made conspicuous by its absence. Paz Ulloa—artist and designer—has based most of her artistic practice on the seeking and restlessness of motion in details. At first glance, most of Ulloa’s work provokes curiosity and in-depth analysis of the canvas due to the great number of visual layers; however, this in-depth analysis can lead the viewer to see that her art also exploits the delicacy, finesse, and particularity of its history and artistic experimentation, which comprehends a landscape between drawings and film.
