Arte Santander 2023 – Elisa pardo Puch
After the exhibitions "Hot Links" (April 2021) and "La Espera" (May 2022), in which we have shown different works by the artist Elisa Pardo Puch (Madrid, 1988) in our gallery, in Arte Santander we will be showing a selection of works by the artist that includes drawings made in 2022, 2023, as well as a new series in production.
From the works shown, the Pradiauto stand presents a panoramic view of her recent work in different techniques - patchwork, drawing and ceramics.
The title of the project responds to Pardo Puch's interest in the capacity of storytelling to bring us closer to reality. The works presented have an impact, in different ways, on the way in which these narratives crystallise stories and preserve them for the future. At the same time, the project focuses on the use of certain imaginaries related to the forest and the fantastic.
