Sofía Salazar Rosales's sculpture "Where does the strength come from?" features a rustic, rust-colored structure with a textured surface, resembling bark or layered fabric, contrasted by delicate yellow threads cascading from its base. The piece evokes themes of resilience and growth, symbolizing the journey and roots forming from hardship.

Salazar Rosales’s work develops from a sentence she wrote: “Hay cuerpos cansados por el viaje que buscan enraizarse” (There are bodies tired from the journey that seek to root). Her interest focuses on how objects have a potential to show social, political, and economic contexts, specifically linked to the displacement of humans, goods and other objects. She conceives her pieces as spaces of reconciliation to negotiate between the object, the material and their history throughout different contexts. Reconciling is also a constructive gesture in her work, which continuously transforms the objects with particular focus on their emotional effect. Salazar Rosales and her sculptures have a relationship of affection. The artist says: “We are contextual, but also sentimental.” ...

Bremond Capela’s program is conceived as a living narrative, where each exhibition becomes a chapter that reflects and questions the transformations of our time. The gallery brings together artists whose work addresses themes such as identity, migration, feminism, and technology, alongside broader cultural, political, and aesthetic concerns. This vision also engages with more canonical questions of art history, from the renewed role of painting to the ways traditional forms can be reactivated today. The program unfolds as a sensitive and evolving chronicle of contemporary life. Artists, whether emerging or established, act as witnesses and storytellers, offering new anthropological perspectives that enrich an ever-expanding narrative of the present. Bremond Capela was founded from the combined experience of Mathieu Capela, co-founder of cadet capela, and Martin Bremond’s years within major international galleries ...
