El despertar de los insectos

It is Lula Mari's first solo exhibition at the Gachi Prieto gallery, where she presents a series of oil paintings made in the last two years. To say that these works began with sketches produced during his summers at El Tigre would not be enough. its fascination for this town also goes back to its own history. Mari says that her great-great-grandfather arrived in Argentina from France - Nice on time - and that he was one of the first settlers to install the passenger boat service in the Tigre Delta. His childhood was spent among the canals of the River Lujan, and it was there that her visual world began to take shape, like the nuances that only she could distinguish within the island jungle.
