A curation by Juliana Angulo, Art Historian, Curator, and Advisor at FAREX & Singulart - “Books are like a window onto another world: with each new page, they introduce us to new people, new cultures and new ideas.” UNESCO. In commemoration of World Book Day celebrated yearly on April 23, this selection of paintings portrays the power of books to promote knowledge and cultural memory. Through figurative works, books and readers are depicted across diverse scenarios where their roles oscillate between central and symbolic. While some pieces rely on delicate or gestural strokes to convey emotion, others incorporate concept to add layers of meaning. This curation offers fresh perspectives that present both the motif and the act of reading through color and creativity.
