José Guerrero. On the Landscape

Always organized in series, the photography of José Guerrero (Granada, 1979) is presented as a continuous study around the representation and perception of the landscape and architecture through the photographic image. Through a significant use of light, color and atmosphere, his photographs transform iconic and historic places—such as La Mancha, Carrara, Sierra Nevada or the Thames—into dynamic settings that challenge the viewer's cultural background to inspire a poetic gaze full of meanings and connotations.

This exhibition covers more than 20 years of his career to date.

Felipe Romero. Bravo

Bravo was the winning project of the second edition of the international KBr Photo Award, launched by Fundación MAPFRE in 2021. As in his other works, Colombian photographer Felipe Romero (Bogotá, Colombia, 1992) invites us to reflect on a space of tension and conflict: the border between Mexico and the United States and, specifically, a stretch of the Rio Grande, which forms part of the more than 1,000 kilometers of division between the two countries. His images of people, landscapes, and architecture form a sober visual essay on the idea of waiting and the complexity of border identity.

Nicholas Nixon. The Brown Sisters (1975-2022)

Nicholas Nixon (Detroit, 1947) stands out as an essential figure in the history of contemporary photography. Renowned for his profound and empathetic perspective, Nixon combined his artistic career with teaching at the Massachusetts College of Art until 2017. Among his most iconic projects is The Brown Sisters (1975–2022), a series begun in 1975 that annually portrays his wife, Beverly Brown (Bebe), and her three sisters. With a refined technique and a deeply human perspective, Nixon transforms the everyday into a visual narrative of great emotional force, presenting us with one of the most moving representations of the passage of time in the history of art. With the image of the year 2022, Nixon has concluded the series, so this will be the first time it can be seen in Spain in its final version.
