MYSTERY AND CONTRADICTION IN MIGUEL ROTHSCHILD, AT JORGE LÓPEZ
Álvaro de Benito
The Valencian gallery Jorge López presents Felices los que creen sin haber visto (Blessed are those who have not seen and yet they have believed), an exhibition where Miguel Rothschild (Buenos Aires, 1963) confronts the sacred and the profane, the sublime and the fragile, unfolding throughout the body of works the tension created by these concepts through material, visual, and poetic strategies.
Structured around a single narrative, the path through this production invites the viewer into a space where apparent spirituality is always accompanied by questions, doubts, and uncertainties. The Argentine artist’s proposal reveals itself as the construction of a realm where contradictions emerge in the interpretation of a certain mystery.
Lo Numinoso (The Numinous) addresses the search for the invisible, for its essential but immaterial presence, through the transparency and vibration of fishing lines stretched over photographic paper. The photographs of confessionals used in Absolución (Absolution) become precision games with steel balls that evoke chance and repetition.

In La Ascensión (The Ascension), the artist overturns the laws of physics to generate movement and elevation, engaging in a dialogue between the material and immaterial aspects of the invisible. The series Elevation presents snapshots of Gothic stained-glass windows that have been pierced to accompany a kind of iconoclastic celebration. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet they have believed returns to the irony produced by the technique of using perforated paper as an instrument of healing.

THE SUBTLETY OF SANDRA CINTO, AT ES BALUARD
By Álvaro de Benito
Es Baluard in Palma de Mallorca presents Preludio para el sol y las estrellas (Prelude for the Sun and the Stars), a project by Sandra Cinto (Santo André, Brazil, 1968) that transforms the museum space into a realm suspended between perception, time, and matter. The result envelops visitors in an expanded landscape that invites reflection through stillness and contemplation, where the sensory and the act of pausing become central to the experience.
