The Soul of Matter

The Soul of Matter

Mundo Arte Gallery presents The Soul of Matter, an evocative group exhibition curated by Fernando Fernandez, running from February 15 to March 15, 2025. The opening reception will take place on February 15 from 7 to 10 PM at 1746 NE 163rd St, North Miami Beach, FL. Complimentary parking is available at the furniture store next door.

In The Soul of Matter, artistic creation becomes an essential pursuit where materiality is not merely a medium but the very essence of expression. The exhibition features the works of four Miami-based contemporary artists—Marco Caridad, Sharon Berebichez, Verónica Pasman, and Marilyn Valiente—who engage with abstraction to reveal the intangible within the tangible. Their work transcends the physical realm, using materials, textures, and gestures to create a contemplative space where matter becomes a conduit for deeper meaning.

As contemporary society becomes increasingly digital and dematerialized, The Soul of Matter presents a counterpoint to this shift by emphasizing the power of physical materials in artistic expression. In an era where artificial intelligence and virtual reality redefine the limits of creativity, this exhibition reasserts the significance of touch, texture, and the raw presence of artistic mediums. These works not only challenge our perception of materiality but also reflect a global yearning for authenticity, human connection, and tangible experiences in an overwhelmingly virtual world.

Through an interplay of intuitive marks and deliberate choices, the exhibition explores how materials embody emotions, concepts, and spiritual connections. These artists redefine abstraction as a means of storytelling, transforming ordinary elements into profound visual narratives. Curated by Fernando Fernandez, The Soul of Matter invites viewers to experience a dynamic dialogue between the physical and the metaphysical, challenging perceptions of what art can convey beyond its material form.

About the Artists

Marco Caridad
Venezuelan-born and Miami-based, Marco Caridad’s work explores the intersections of materiality, symbolism, and social narratives. His practice delves into themes of migration, memory, and belief systems, often incorporating unconventional materials such as burnt book pages, petroleum, and electrical cables. With a background in visual arts, graphic design, and theater, Caridad’s textured assemblages challenge traditional forms, prompting viewers to reflect on faith, knowledge, and cultural identity.

Sharon Berebichez
Originally from Mexico City and based in Miami for over a decade, Sharon Berebichez is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, ceramics, assemblage, and sculpture. In recent years, her focus on fiber art—particularly embroidery—has become a meditative process for exploring identity, migration, and heritage. Drawing from her Mexican, Guatemalan, and Jewish roots, Berebichez incorporates rich textures and materials that weave together cultural memory and contemporary abstraction.

Marilyn Valiente
A Cuban-born visual artist residing in Miami, Marilyn Valiente bridges abstraction and reality in her work, addressing themes of human struggle, spirituality, and resilience. With a background in both art and psychology, she explores the repetition of patterns—both in thought and storytelling—translating them into layered compositions rich with bold colors, textures, and symbolic text. Now a full-time artist with a studio at Miami International Fine Arts, Valiente’s work serves as a compelling dialogue on transformation and identity.

Verónica Pasman
Born in Argentina and now based in Miami, Verónica Pasman creates a harmonious balance between structure and spontaneity in abstraction. Her paintings, infused with rhythm and organic forms, have been featured in private collections and luxury spaces, including Coral Sands Hotel in Bal Harbour and Norman’s Key Villas in the Bahamas. Pasman’s work captures the fluidity of motion and the interplay between control and intuition, inviting viewers into a realm of dynamic expression.

ÉL CAMINAR DE UN ARTISTA DESDE LA MIRADA DE UN ESPECTADOR

Por: Maria del Mar Montilla

El camino del artista en esencia es un camino esperitual ya qué la persona sirve como canal para darle sentido aquello qué se le manifiesta, facilitando la práctica a través de la creatividad y al mismo tiempo conecta con ese niño o niña qué lleva en su interior, dándole la excusa perfecta para tener la ropa llena de pintura, jugar con diferentes materiales, texturas y colores. Es experimentar, ser curioso e inquietos y
tener toda la libertad de darle rienda suelta a la imaginación y la improvisación.

El proceso de creación es una cita a solas entre el artista, la inspiración y los recursos qué utiliza, permitiendo fluir la energía divina, haciendo de cada instante un momento único, porque cada obra, pintura o instalación es la apertura de nuevas experiencias, nuevos aprendizajes, enriqueciendo y expandiendo el andar de su camino, teniendo en cuenta qué cada dificultad es una puerta qué abre otras
posibilidades.

Los artistas tienen una conexión particular con el mundo ya que desarrollan una sensibilidad con lo que lo rodea, manteniéndose abiertos a toda experiencia sensorial, debido a que cualquier cosa puede convertirse en una fuente de inspiración, permitiendo que sus obras sean una ventana a su interior, expresando su sentir de una manera especial y sublime, ya qué el arte se siente, no se piensa.

Un espectador al apreciar una obra puede experimentar diferentes reacciones, tales como alegría, curiosidad, paz, reflexión, conexión personal, entre otras, dado que cada persona aporta su propia historia y emociones a la interpretación de las piezas.

El arte es un acto de Fe porque es entregarse a ciegas a esa energía que se les expresa, transformando lo intangible en tangible, dándole vida a cada pieza, pincelada o escultura, viendo con claridad lo que otros no ven. Siendo sus obras una expresión de su ser y un testimonio de su viaje creativo.

En conclusión, el camino del artista es un baile entre lo espiritual y lo terrenal en el qué cada persona canaliza y materializa lo que se le expresa, siendo sus obras una representación visual de su interior, además la creatividad juega un papel fundamental en la vida de cada creador, ya qué es una herramienta que se usa desde la expresión personal hasta la transformación social.

Él arte más qué mirarse con los ojos, se observa con él alma.

Adventum Floridana: Witnessing the Layers of a Vanishing Horizon

Adventum Floridana: Witnessing the Layers of a Vanishing Horizon a solo exhibition by Andrés Cabrera-Garcia

The Frank Art Gallery

601 City Center Way Pembroke Pines, FL 33025
P: 954 392 2120
Tue – Sat: 11 am – 5 pm

Curated by Sophie Bonet

Exhibition Dates: March 13–June 7, 2025

Opening Reception: March 13, 6–9 PM

The Frank C. Ortis Art Gallery is proud to announce Adventum Floridana: Witnessing the Layers of a Vanishing Horizon, a solo exhibition by Andrés Cabrera-Garcia curated by Sophie Bonet. This evocative exhibition examines the fragile beauty of South Florida’s landscapes in a state of flux, offering viewers an opportunity to engage with the region’s shifting horizons through Cabrera-Garcia’s compelling works.

Cabrera-Garcia’s practice captures the tensions between nature and human intervention, translating ephemeral moments of light, texture, and urban transformation into dynamic visual narratives. His expressive brushstrokes evoke the sensory experience of South Florida—dense humidity, fading light, and the ever-present hum of development—immersing viewers in the visceral realities of a landscape in transition.

Central to the exhibition is a monumental polyptych, a “Platonic Ridge,” embodying the fragmentation and cohesion of South Florida’s evolving terrain. Complemented by an array of found objects and construction debris, the gallery becomes an archaeological site, immersing visitors in the dual forces of destruction and renewal.

Curator Sophie Bonet approaches Adventum Floridana through the lens of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology, emphasizing the active, embodied nature of perception. “This exhibition is not just about observing Cabrera-Garcia’s work,” Bonet explains. “It is about experiencing these landscapes as extensions of ourselves—an entanglement of memory, materiality, and transformation.”

The result is an exhibition that challenges viewers to witness and reflect upon the tenuous beauty of South Florida’s environment and its precarious future. Cabrera-Garcia’s works are not merely representations but invitations to participate in the ongoing dialogue between nature and humanity.

The Frank is a two story art gallery named after Pembroke Pines Mayor Frank C. Ortis for his decades-long commitment to the cultural arts. Lovingly known as ‘The Frank,’ this contemporary art gallery showcases multidisciplinary inclusive exhibitions that foster connections, facilitate collaborations and initiate cultural change. The gallery’s exhibition and learning space serves as a site of convergence for artists, performers, thought leaders and community members.

Aldeide Delgado in conversation with Dahlia Dreszer

Dahlia Dreszer, Bringing The Outside In exhibition

Aldeide Delgado in conversation with Dahlia Dreszer at Green Space Miami

Join us for a lively discussion between Aldeide Delgado and Dahlia Dreszer at Green Space Miam – it’s going to be a fascinating artist talk!

Dahlia Dreszer, in dialogue with curator Aldeide Delgado, delves into the profound ways our homes serve as vessels of cultural memory and identity. This exhibition reimagines Green Space Miami as an immersive environment where tropical botanicals, site-specific installations, and striking large-scale photographs intertwine. Through intricate compositions of flowers, ancestral textiles, and cultural artifacts, the installation blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, evoking a sensory journey through heritage and place.

Bringing the Outside In explores how our homes become vessels for cultural memory and identity. The exhibition transforms Green Space Miami into an immersive environment where large-scale still life photography merges with site-specific installations, creating a dialogue between interior and exterior worlds. Through a layered visual language of rescued flowers, ancestral textiles, and cultural artifacts, the work examines themes of preservation, migration, and the fluid nature of home, suggesting that “home” is not a fixed place but a constant dialogue between memory, identity, and the spaces we inhabit.

“Bringing the Outside In” merges cultural objects, textiles, printed works, and flowers into meticulously composed still lifes. Each photograph creates a layered narrative exploring cultural identity through carefully arranged domestic spaces.

Through her art, Dahlia intends to free the mind towards a way of understanding that goes beyond the conventional. Expressed through photography and digital manipulation, Dahlia creates compositions that break free from reference in a significant way. She is interested in questions regarding artifice in color and naturalness in color, and how it does or does not belong in the environment. Her pieces are created through a hybrid process where she combines photography, digital technique, and a painters thought process.

Biography:

Born in Colombia and raised in Panama, Dahlia Dreszer is a photo artist with a passion for capturing the essence of life through her lens. A graduate from Emory University, Dahlia holds a comprehensive background in Media and Photography, complemented by a concentration in Film and Media Management from the Goizueta School of Business.

As a photo artist, Dahlia’s focus is to push the boundaries of conventional photography and create contemporary pieces that challenge the viewers perception of the medium. Dahlia seeks to inspire dialogue and introspection through her work, and blur the lines between reality and artifice. Dahlia’s work explores themes of identity, memory, and the human experience, as she aims to question the limits of what can be achieved with a camera. Her process often involves manipulating the photograph in post-production, adding layers of meaning and depth to the composition.

Jean Albert Gorin

Jean Albert Gorin ( 1899 – 1981 ) was a French painter. Unique contributions or vertical sculptures to Neoplasticism.

Jean Gorin was a pioneering French neoplastic painter and constructive sculptor whose work extended the principles of Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg into new dimensions. As a dedicated disciple of Mondrian, Gorin remained committed to the ideals of Neoplasticism, yet he introduced subtle evolutions to the movement, particularly through his integration of circles, diagonals, and three-dimensional reliefs.

Gorin’s encounter with Neoplasticism in 1926 marked a turning point in his artistic development. Seeing Mondrian’s geometric compositions alongside van Doesburg’s elementarist works and reading Georges Vantongerloo’s theoretical writings propelled him toward pure abstraction. This led to a correspondence with Mondrian and Vantongerloo, which quickly blossomed into deeper artistic exchanges and personal meetings. Mondrian, impressed by Gorin’s dedication, became both a mentor and advocate, encouraging him to push the boundaries of the movement.

Gorin’s early works, such as Composition No. 10 (1926), reflected a strict adherence to Neoplastic principles—grid-based arrangements, primary colors, and precise geometric forms. However, his willingness to experiment set him apart. Unlike Mondrian, who rigidly maintained vertical and horizontal compositions, Gorin explored the potential of diagonals and circular elements, subtly disrupting the strict orthogonality of traditional Neoplasticism.

By 1930, Gorin was exhibiting alongside Mondrian and other abstract artists in the Cercle et Carré group, founded by Michel Seuphor. This period saw him transition from painting to reliefs, a shift that Mondrian himself encouraged, believing it to be a natural evolution of abstract painting toward architectural space. Gorin’s neoplastic reliefs extended the flat planes of painting into physical depth, creating dynamic spatial interactions that anticipated later developments in Constructivist and Minimalist sculpture.

Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Gorin remained at the forefront of abstract movements, co-founding the Abstraction-Création group and continuing to develop his vision of neoplastic architecture and sculpture. His reliefs, with their precisely balanced geometric configurations, were praised for advancing Mondrian’s ideas while injecting a new level of spatial complexity.

Despite the decline of Neoplasticism after Mondrian’s death in 1944, Gorin persisted in his explorations, adapting his work while maintaining its core principles. His legacy lies in his ability to bridge the gap between two-dimensional abstraction and three-dimensional form, expanding the reach of Neoplasticism beyond painting and into the realms of architectural and sculptural innovation.

Today, Gorin is recognized as a crucial figure in the evolution of geometric abstraction, standing alongside Mondrian and van Doesburg as one of the leading proponents of pure visual harmony through form and color. His reliefs and spatial compositions continue to inspire contemporary artists and architects exploring the relationship between art and structure.

Jean Albert Gorin, a vital figure within the Neo-Plasticist movement, extended Piet Mondrian’s rigorously geometric principles into three-dimensional space with his innovative vertical sculptures and maintained a consistent dedication to hard-edge abstraction in his paintings.

Gorin’s paintings, characterized by their precise, orthogonal lines and carefully calibrated primary and non-colors, demonstrated a commitment to pure, non-representational forms. 2 However, his most significant contribution lies in his sculptural work. These vertical constructions, meticulously crafted from geometric planes, transcended the limitations of the canvas, becoming tangible manifestations of his pursuit of spatial harmony and the integration of art into the architectural environment. By pushing the boundaries of Neo-Plasticism beyond the flat plane, Gorin effectively transformed the movement’s theoretical tenets into a dynamic, experiential reality, solidifying his place as a pioneer of abstract sculpture

abstraction-création: art non-figuratif published in Paris annually from 1932-1936

El arte de los tiempos nuevos.

A pesar del trágico de la vida actual, se reconocen ciertos signos de que la evolución decisiva de la humanidad está por comenzar.
¡Todo se transforma, todo evoluciona!

La humanidad en su etapa adulta:

El doctor Jaworsky, comparando la vida de la humanidad con la del hombre, dice que esta entra actualmente en su decimoctavo año.
Nos alejamos, por tanto, del periodo turbulento de la adolescencia; los tiempos nuevos nos conducen hacia la edad adulta.
Desde hace medio siglo, no se puede negar, la evolución ha sido prodigiosa.
La invención de la máquina, los progresos técnicos y los descubrimientos constantes de las ciencias otorgan a los hombres, hoy en día, poderes gigantescos.
Se pueden prever para el futuro tiempos únicos.
Nuestra época ya no puede compararse con ninguna otra de la historia.
Con el siglo XX se abre una nueva era de la civilización.

Crisis y cambio de ciclo:

Las crisis económicas y sociales que atraviesa el mundo actual son el signo del fin de un ciclo, del fin de un mundo donde triunfó la anarquía individualista en todos los ámbitos.
Los tiempos nuevos maquinistas, que constituyen el nuevo ciclo, se anuncian finalmente racionales y colectivistas.
Las jóvenes élites, sanas, llenas de vitalidad y optimismo, se constituyen en grupos compactos y avanzan valientemente hacia la claridad radiante del futuro.

El hombre nuevo y el maquinismo:

El hombre se libera finalmente de todo sentimentalismo y particularismo.
Desde el automóvil y el avión, todo le aparece bajo una nueva luz.
El maquinismo va a revolucionar completamente nuestra vida: su desarrollo intenso y su utilización racional van a crear en nosotros una nueva mentalidad.
La estandarización y la industrialización, extendiéndose a todos los ámbitos de la vida, hacen que esta se vuelva cada vez más abstracta.
De esto resulta una nueva óptica, precisa, clara y matemática.

El arte en los tiempos nuevos:

El hombre nuevo tiene una necesidad intensa de contemplación plástica.
La vida nueva le exige momentos de calma y reposo, donde la contemplación del arte juega un gran papel si quiere conservar su equilibrio vital.
Solo corresponderá a esta necesidad una plástica clara, pura, sintética, despojada de las más mínimas escorias pasadistas.
Los diferentes “ismos” que se han sucedido en los últimos cincuenta años han permitido desarrollar un arte absolutamente adecuado a las exigencias de los tiempos nuevos.
La plástica está ahora completamente liberada de la influencia morfológica en la que se había estancado durante siglos.

El arte abstracto y no figurativo:

Un arte puro, colectivo, universal y científico ha nacido: el arte puramente abstracto, absolutamente no figurativo.
El movimiento colectivo de la nueva plástica (neoplasticismo) emplea medios de expresión absolutamente universales, matemáticos y científicos.
Es el arte impersonal por excelencia.
La línea recta y el plano rectangular de color puro o no color son los únicos elementos para todos.
La posición ortogonal es la constante.
A través de la creación y la perfección cualitativa de las relaciones plásticas puras, la obra puede alcanzar la unidad cósmica.

El arte completo:

Es el arte completo, que permite la expresión de todo nuestro ser: material-espiritual, individual-universal, en equilibrio constante.
Es el arte racional y colectivo de los tiempos nuevos maquinistas.

Ana Vanessa Urvina “Memory of the Water”

“Memory of the Water” Opening reception will take place next Thursday March 13th from 6 to 9pm.

Memory of the Water” is Ana Vanessa Urvina’s first solo show at the gallery. ]

The sense of belonging and the changing spirit of nature are precisely what Urvina explores in Memory of the water. In her work, flora and fauna have become indistinctive elements: vegetable and animal frontiers no longer exist. The result are these seductive, haunting pieces: different landscapes, yet one body connected through a constant flow. A memory not just because of what she remembers, but because water itself carries the echoes of our identities and cultures; their beauty and complexities. Water itself represents the fierceness and vitality that we have inside.”

Por qué las mujeres llevaron su lucha contra el fascismo a las calles de París en topless

FEMEN activists in Paris (Photos: Instagram/capucinehenry)

Excelente arte, llamativas y desafiantes pinturas en los pechos de las parisinas.

Por qué las mujeres llevaron su lucha contra el fascismo a las calles de París en topless

En el Día Internacional de la Mujer, las activistas de FEMEN protagonizaron una protesta impactante y provocadora en París, marchando en topless y con frases atrevidas y desafiantes pintadas en el pecho. Esta audaz manifestación no fue sólo un acto de resistencia contra el patriarcado, sino también una condena del fascismo y el autoritarismo. Cuarenta mujeres, decididas y sin complejos, salieron a la calle, convirtiendo sus cuerpos en lienzos de expresión política. Llevaban en el pecho las inconfundibles imágenes de las banderas estadounidense y rusa, con las palabras «Epidemia fascista» y el símbolo de la esvástica garabateados con pintura, enviando un escalofriante mensaje sobre el auge mundial de las ideologías fascistas.

El acto de pintar estos símbolos en sus cuerpos fue una elección deliberada: una representación artística y visceral de la relación entre nacionalismo, fascismo y patriarcado. La esvástica, históricamente vinculada a los horrores del fascismo, y las banderas nacionales, a menudo símbolos de estructuras de poder opresivas, se yuxtaponían a la crudeza del cuerpo humano, símbolo de la lucha por la libertad y la igualdad. Esta imaginería, descarnada e inquietante, pretendía no sólo enfrentarse a las ideologías de extrema derecha, sino también concienciar sobre la violencia que el autoritarismo político y los sistemas patriarcales imponen a las comunidades marginadas, especialmente a las mujeres.

Al elegir marchar en topless, FEMEN reafirmó su compromiso de siempre de utilizar sus cuerpos como instrumentos de expresión política. Sus pechos, descubiertos al público, se pintaron como una manifestación visual de resistencia: resistencia contra la supresión de los derechos de la mujer, resistencia contra los regímenes opresivos y resistencia contra el autoritarismo que se extiende por todo el mundo. De este modo, reclamaron una Europa feminista que se enfrente a la creciente ola de fascismo y patriarcado con fuerza, unidad y una inquebrantable exigencia de igualdad.

La acción de FEMEN en el Día Internacional de la Mujer fue un duro recordatorio de la intersección entre la igualdad de género y las luchas políticas mundiales. Pintó un potente cuadro de cómo el arte, el activismo y el cuerpo humano pueden unirse en la lucha contra las fuerzas autoritarias, afirmando el derecho a existir, resistir y exigir un mundo libre de opresión.

Totems serve as emblematic visual symbols, embodying histories, identities, and narratives that extend beyond their immediate form. They channel personal and ancestral memory and offer a profound metaphor for selfhood and belonging.

In this exhibition, each artist creates a totem representing identity. Drawing from ancestry, travel, history, and spirituality, these totemic self-portraits convey complex layers of meaning. As you engage with these works, imagine the unseen histories embedded within their visual forms. How do these totems from this eclectic and diasporic group of artists connect? Do they connect? Consider the symbolic visual language that shapes your own totemic identity.

Rooted & Rising is the first exhibition in which the Resident Artists of Arts Warehouse have experimentally united to address a central theme. The residents’ dedication to forging artistic breakthroughs through purposeful discussion, constructive and candid feedback, and fostering a safe, collaborative environment that encourages a growth mindset and embraces challenges has resulted in these works.

Intergalactica, Out of the Fire, an installation of dozens of hand-built ceramic sculptures by artist Jeff Whyman. The significant number of work exhibited collectively gives an air of ceremony and sacredness, activating the room with mysterious energy.

Whyman’s ceramics are inspired by earth found nature as well as intergalactic rock formations, while being made up of everyday vessels such as cups, plates, and vases. The sculptures are made up of recognizable utilitarian forms fused together to create other worldly vessels. While recognizable, the elements are altered with sagging, stretching, and misshapen areas.

Inspired by the clay, Whyman creates a piece all in one session while the clay is still wet. In the assembly process he often adds materials such as sea glass, Chinese crystals, mineral oxides, metal nails, and wood ash. The combined shapes and materials create new vessels that call to mind stalagmites and space rock. Using both wood and soda fire processes in the kiln, the works are marked with unique colorations not revealed until extracted from their firing place.

Jeff Whyman is a south Florida based multi-disciplinary artist working in ceramics, steel sculpture, and oil painting. Born in St. Louis in 1953, he studied ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute and has been exhibiting his work since 1976. He fell under the influence of his prolific teachers and of Peter Voulkos, an artist known for abstract expressionist ceramic sculptures. He and Voulkos had in common their first art expression being painting, their discovery of a feeling for clay, and their move to metal sculpture as a means to larger scale. It was Voulkos who urged Whyman to return to clay after years of concentrating on steel.

Whyman’s south Florida based home studio houses hundreds of ceramic works, with more being created each day. This consistent act of creation by the artist is a calling. Meditative in nature, Whyman creates what the clay inspires. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows around the United States, and has work in many public and private collections. He attended the University of California, Berkeley for his M.A. and M.F.A., after attending Kansas City Art Institute for his B.F.A. Whyman has also participated in dozens of residencies and workshops both as instructor and participant.
