Exhibition Runs February 5th – March 2nd
Gallery Hours: Noon — 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday
A collection of sixteen oil paintings that bridges two worlds. In each piece, colors and forms
blend cubism and surrealism to show life between Mexico and the United States.
The collection presents portraits, landscapes, and moments that capture daily life from two
perspectives. The artist uses vivid colors and geometric shapes to tell simple yet meaningful
stories about identity and memory.
Like a map of experiences, each work marks a moment where cultures meet. Colors build
bridges between past and present, between traditional and new. These are not just
paintings; they are windows showing what living between two countries is like.
The works are organized to guide visitors through different spaces and moments. Each
room shows a part of this story: portraits look at us, landscapes take us to familiar places,
and everyday scenes remind us that art lives in simplicity.
In these sixteen works, colors tell stories we can all understand, no matter where we come
from.
Born in Poncitlán, Jalisco, Mexico, Mauricio Zúñiga carries the cultural richness rooted in his
homeland since moving to Chicago at the young age of 13. He later settled in Kansas City,
where he built a successful artistic career. Known among his friends as “Mo,” Zúñiga
embodies the fusion of dreams and Mexican charm within his being. From childhood, he has
stood out as a creative spirit with a keen eye for beauty and distinction.
