EXOBIOMES is the title of the solo exhibition for Alalimón Art Gallery (Barcelona).

The exhibition project’s conceptual framework revolves around the idea of constructing a synthetic nature, visually appealing yet unreal. Each piece, serves as an aesthetic and tangible representation of a concept or natural process. These concepts are inherently enigmatic to our senses, highlighting our biological limitations as a species.

Using contemporary technological tools and available data, we engage in speculation and fantasy through artistic practice to imagine and craft new landscapes or alternative biomes from those we are familiar with.

These fictional territories become the ideal setting to perceive and normalize a landscape as natural when, in fact, it is not.
