The show explores a journey through imagination, memory, and abstraction. In the shifting lights of imagination and memory, Bruno Sfeir, a Lebanese-Uruguayan painter, is a singular voice in contemporary visual art — one whose work is perhaps as elusive as it is evocative. The artist gestures toward a body of work that resists piegonholing.

His paintings flow freely between movements, influences, and inner visions. Though trained under disciples of the renowned Torres García workshop, Bruno has diverged from the Constructivist grid toward a more fluid and intuitive terrain. Geometry is present in his works, but it does not dictate creative terms and artistic conditions. Surrealist echoes also resound in the pieces, but never dominate. The compositions exist in a space of balance — a visual unity where rational structures intermingle with irrational forms, giving rise to an order that feels both intentional and instinctual.
