Statement
Pascual Ovalle

For me, art is a means to tell stories. Each narrative we read, tale we hear, or artwork we contemplate holds a unique and personal meaning for each of us, a reflection of our own being. In my works, I aspire to be a starting point: the beginning of a tale. My desire is for the viewer to discover a story unique to them and, through it, embark on a journey.

 

My work becomes a portal to the world of dreams. Here, I evoke scenes that touch the fantastical, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in narratives that whisper secrets and awaken the imagination.

 

Through my work, I explore identity, diving in the search for individuality in a world that often tries to homogenize us.
