Galería Palatina is pleased to invite you to the exhibition “Miradas Oníricas” (Dreamlike Views), which marks the return of artist Lucrecia Orloff to the gallery, this time alongside artist María Soledad Majdalani, who was a student of the celebrated engraver. Orloff's work is often characterized by its urban imprint: the well-known series of
Teatro Colón, focusing on its boxes and orchestras, circuses, nursing homes, and her latest series featuring Parisian museum guards, among others. However, this time, nature takes center stage. Inspired by her long walks through the Ecological Reserve, Orloff chooses to distance herself from reality and rigor to create a dreamlike world of enchanted forests and woodlands in which branches unruly intertwine and grow in total freedom. Black and white, the power of engraving, lithography, the nobility of stone, "its mystery and the devil that dwells within it," define Orloff. She also works with wood, copper, iron, and zinc sheets.

Majdalani, in addition to the teacher/disciple bond, is united by the synthesis and depth that characterizes them. The pensive, dreamy women in Majdalani's prints and her sculptures from the "Tears of the Sea" series also seem torn from a dream world. Her pigmented epoxy resin sculptures in modified glass jars play with the idea of exploring and documenting a scientific expedition to Antarctica, forming a collection of
Possible and imaginary beings and discoveries. The result? Sculptural groups made up of original pieces on a light base that evoke a selection of ethereal and fragile invertebrates that live beneath the Antarctic ice. They are accompanied by engravings whose forcefulness and presence contrast with the fragile, almost ephemeral sculptures.
