La destrucción de los sueños I-V (The Destruction of Dreams I-V). 60 x 50 cm. Oil on canvas. 2025.
“La destrucción de los sueños” is a series of small-format oil paintings developed during a one-month artist residency in Kárstica (Cañada del Hoyo, Castilla-La Mancha)—a collaborative initiative between Abra Espacio (@abra.espacio Costa Rica) and Museo La Neomudéjar (@laneomudejar Spain).
The series references visual representations of figures such as Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and other contemporary political leaders. The economic agendas implemented by Thatcher and Reagan are widely regarded as foundational to the global spread of neoliberalism, encapsulated by the now-notorious assertion: “There is no alternative.”
This ongoing body of work will be featured in forthcoming exhibitions addressing themes such as the foreclosure of future imaginaries, the crisis of political and cultural imagination, and the increasingly complex role that images occupy within contemporary ideological and mediatic conflict.
