The Farewell / La despedida

“The Farewell” is a work that traces an intimate path through various experiential elements of its two creators. With the dark poetics offered by Alejandro Lescay’s scratchboard and the sentimental colorism of Chuli Herrera’s oil on canvas, we are presented with a moving and poetic scene imbued with a high degree of romanticism. The artists found in this idea an aesthetically valuable way to merge their creative styles, resulting in a piece that evokes solitude, distance, and loss.
