GALLERY SHOW OPENING
PRESENCIAS by Carlos Carbajo Ledesma
Opens on October 16 at La galería In La’Kech, Calle 60 No. 595A x 73 y 75, at 8 pm, and will be on display until Jan. 16, 2009. For Carlos Carbajo Ledesma painting is self-actualization, a process that lends coherence to his life. His work is an extension of his soul, a place where he can channel his emotions, play out his conflicts, confront the rational and irrational nature of his universe. It is a tangible footprint, proof of his existence. Art, for Carlos, is mind and heart made manifest. www.galeriainlakech.com |
