    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.
