YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE: SPECIAL PROJECT AT PINTA LIMA

The enduring legacy of Teresa Burga (Iquitos, 1935 – Lima, 2021) is celebrated at the Latin American art fair Pinta Lima, where she was selected as the tribute artist for the Special Project, curated by Miguel A. López. The exhibition brings together, for the first time, various moments of her production between 1966 and 2020, showcasing the intelligence, boldness, and versatility of an artist who was not always recognized or understood in her time.

In its 2025 edition, the Latin American contemporary art fair presents, through RADAR and Video Project, a selection of works that engage with key issues of the present—both within the artistic field and beyond it: from questions surrounding the re-signification of ancestral knowledge to reflections on the idiosyncrasies of human nature.

The sustained rise of Peruvian artists in the contemporary art circuit abroad, the incipient professionalization of the gallery circuit and an expanding local collecting are symptoms of an ecosystem that, although still young, is consolidating. In this context, Pinta Lima inaugurates its 2025 edition as a platform that makes the country's artistic production visible and presents its circuit of Collection Talks within the framework of the FORO conversation.

This 2025, the EFG Latin America Art Award celebrates its 15th anniversary, consolidated as one of the most relevant recognitions of contemporary creation in the region. Within the framework of Pinta Lima, one of the fairs where the selection of nominated artists takes place, the impact this award has had on the visibility of Latin American visual arts is highlighted.

Alejandra Monteverde is the founder of Crisis Galería, an art space located in Lima, Peru. The institution will be part of the RADAR section at the 2025 edition of Pinta Lima, a platform for artists to engage with some of the most pressing discussions in contemporary Latin American art. Crisis Galería will present “stories of resistance, transformation, and belonging.”

Peruvian artist Yerko Zlatar, alongside Mariana Otero, director of Puna gallery (Peru), explores the contemporaneity of traditional crafts in the NEXT Section of the fair. The collaborative duo showcases unique pieces rooted in traditional practices such as weaving, ceramics, and basketry, understood as living languages that enable the creation of new works of art.

Pinta Lima returns for its 12th edition from April 24 to 27, 2025, bringing with it three Bogotá-based galleries offering versatile and thought-provoking proposals. Together, they create a dialogue that spans a wide thematic universe characteristic of contemporary art: exploring the passage of time and materiality, questioning art history and identity, and exposing the visual culture of mass media.

As part of the artistic and technological innovation of the #12 edition of Pinta Lima, the winning proposal for the artistic intervention of the Audi Q6 e-tron, a 100% electric vehicle of the Audi company, was announced. The work entitled “Aurora Mar” by artist Gabriela María Ganoza Tacchino was selected for its powerful environmental message and its innovative use of sustainable materials.

After four days of intense activity, during which key figures from the international and regional contemporary art scenes came together, the twelfth edition of Pinta Lima concluded at Casa Prado, reaffirming itself as one of the main events for contemporary art in Peru. This edition, directed by Irene Gelfman, celebrated cultural legacy and projected the future of Latin American art at a time when the Peruvian ecosystem —with the international rise of its artists, the strengthening of its gallery circuit, and the growth of local collecting— is advancing strongly toward consolidation.

The art fair invites galleries to submit their proposals for its new edition, taking place from December 4 to 7 at The Hangar, Coconut Grove. The application deadline is July 30.

This was my first visit to Lima (and I hope it’s the first of many), and I came to take part in Pinta Lima 2025—an incredibly enriching experience. From the opening to the close, the fair was full of life: buzzing rooms, lively conversations, and unexpected encounters. There was an unmistakable energy in the air, the kind that comes from a city that takes seriously its place on the Latin American contemporary art map.
