About this artwork

This piece inaugurates a vertical archaeology of the everyday. Joaquín transmutes the chaos of a poker game—chips, chance, and the remnants of after-dinner conversation—into a contemporary still life that defies gravity. The work stems from an anthropological observation: the accidental beauty left behind after an encounter. By transferring these vestiges from the horizontality of the table to the verticality of the wall, the artist freezes time,… transforming domestic ruin into an aesthetic relic.

"Flush" encapsulates the tension of "all or nothing." Amidst overturned coffee cups, exposed wallets, and playing cards, a story of vulnerability and risk unfolds. True to his commitment to sustainability, Joaquín elevates found objects and reclaimed materials to the status of high culture, creating a modern memento mori. It is an essential piece for collectors seeking narrative, exclusivity, and a raw perspective on the fragility of our social connections.

Credentials

Works on commission

Joaquín Acevedo is a visual artist whose work stems from a fundamental principle: to think and explore like a child. For him, art is not a rigid destiny, but a state of wonder where play is the artist's most serious work.

His practice eschews limiting labels, transforming ordinary materials like wood, Legos, moss, and cardboard into extraordinary pieces. This freedom has led him to explore live art, notably his participation in the Alto Sessions alongside artist Olivia García, where he fused visual creation and spontaneity in real time.

Understanding art as "pure emotion" and a bridge that needs no translation, Joaquín creates an emotional diary that connects immediately with the viewer. This universal vision has taken his work to global markets, with pieces sold in Miami, New York, Vancouver, and Kyoto, solidifying an international career that celebrates the innocence and creative power of playfulness.
