Gary Nader Art Centre celebrates the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to María Corina Machado
Gary Nader Art Centre proudly celebrates the historic recognition awarded today to María Corina Machado, who has been honored with the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her steadfast defense of freedom, democracy, and human rights for the Venezuelan people.
Machado thus becomes the first Venezuelan to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, a milestone in Latin American history and a powerful symbol of hope for all those who believe in the transformative power of truth and courage.
For more than four decades, Gary Nader has devoted his life to promoting Latin American art and culture, with special pride in elevating the visibility of women artists and creators who have transcended barriers through their talent and voice. For this reason, this prize not only honors a political trajectory but also celebrates the courage and sensitivity of a woman who has defended freedom as an art form in itself.
“As a Latin American and a friend of the Venezuelan people, I deeply celebrate this recognition of María Corina Machado. It is a tribute to courage, faith, and dignity. Venezuela has given the world artists, thinkers, and leaders who have transformed pain into creation, and this news reminds us that freedom is also a form of art — the art of resisting, believing, and rebuilding. This Nobel belongs to all who keep dreaming of a free, just, and luminous Latin America.”
— Gary Nader, Founder of Gary Nader Art Centre, Nader Museum, and Nader Sculpture Park.
This recognition of María Corina Machado reaffirms the conviction that freedom, justice, and equal opportunity — also in art — are the foundations of every truly human society.
From the Gary Nader Art Centre, the mission remains the same: to celebrate creativity, resilience, and beauty as universal languages that unite people.
