Meet the Artists in Zurich | The Mind Behind the Artwork Asheé Art Gallery By Katherine Pérez events Ever wondered what the artist was thinking? On November 27th, experience a unique artist talk. Meet the creators from our exhibition, discover their stories, and engage in a dialogue about art. Free admission. Beyond the Canvas: Discover the Voice Behind the Art in a Unique Artist Meetup Art is, above all, a dialogue. A painting, a sculpture, or an installation speaks to us from the wall, evoking emotions, questions, and sometimes, unexpected answers. But what if you could sit down with the one who created that piece and ask them: “What did you truly mean to say?” At Asheé Art Gallery, we believe the artistic experience doesn’t end with contemplation. It is enriched by conversation, by human connection. That’s why we are delighted to invite you to an exceptional event: an intimate meetup and talk with all the artists from our current group exhibition. It will be held on November 27th at our venue in Zurich.

The Mystery Solved: Intention vs. Interpretation One of the most fascinating dynamics in art is the gap—sometimes small, sometimes a chasm—between the artist’s intention and the audience’s interpretation. You, as the viewer, bring your own history, experiences, and sensibilities to the artwork, creating a unique and personal meaning. But how does that compare to the initial spark that ignited the creation in the artist’s mind? At this meetup, you will have the rare opportunity to: Hear first-hand the stories, creative processes, and concepts that shaped the works you admire in our gallery. Uncover the “why”: Why that color palette? Why that material? What personal or social experience was the artist aiming to capture? Understand the technique: Discover the challenges and innovative solutions behind each piece. A Live Dialogue: When Art Comes to Life Reading a description on a plaque is one thing. Hearing the passion in the artist’s voice is another. This event will not be a formal lecture, but an open and dynamic conversation. A space where you can: Ask your questions: Is there something you’ve always wanted to ask an artist? Now is your moment. Break the invisible barrier between the creator and the viewer. Contrast perspectives: Share your own interpretation and discover if the artist envisioned it similarly or if they surprise you with a completely different viewpoint. This is where art truly comes alive, at the intersection of different gazes. Connect with the art community: Meet other art lovers, collectors, and critics. Enrich yourself with a vibrant and stimulating exchange of ideas. A Unique and Unrepeatable Opportunity Gathering the entire roster of artists from a group exhibition is a rare occasion. It is the perfect moment to deepen your understanding of contemporary art, to invest in your personal culture, and perhaps, to find that emotional connection with a work that transforms it from a decorative object into a meaningful piece for your life or collection. Don’t let others tell you about it. Experience it fully. Event: Artist Meetup and Talk with ArtistsDate: Thursday, November 27, 2025Time: 19:00 – 21:00Location: Asheé Art Gallery, Regus 1st. Floor.

Emerging Latin American Artists You Should Follow Now By Estela Ferrer Raveiro Asheé Art Gallery Latin American art is experiencing a new wave: young, bold, and deeply rooted in both heritage and the digital present. At Asheé Gallery, we believe that discovering emerging talent is investing in the future of art. Here are five names redefining the scene: María Conejo (Mexico) – With an intimate and powerful line, she explores the relationship between body, identity, and contemporary femininity. Andrés Pereira Paz (Bolivia) – Fuses Andean mythology and political critique in installations that dismantle colonial narratives. Daniela Ortiz (Peru/Spain) – Her work blends activism and performance to expose structures of power and exclusion. Adriana Minoliti (Argentina) – Through digital painting, she creates queer, geometric worlds where color becomes language. Diego Machado (Brazil) – Between urban muralism and digital graphics, his work refreshes Brazilian modernism with a contemporary twist. Different in technique but united in intensity, these artists confirm that Latin America remains an inexhaustible source of visual innovation.

Surprising Similarities Between Pre-Columbian Art and Contemporary Swiss Design At first glance, they may seem worlds apart—one ancient, the other minimalist—but Pre-Columbian art and Swiss design share more than you might think: The power of the symbol: From Andean textiles to Bauhaus or Helvetica logos, geometric form conveys pure meaning. The pursuit of balance: Maya or Moche ceramics show mathematical precision comparable to Swiss composition—nothing is missing, nothing is superfluous. Aesthetic functionality: In both cases, art is not mere ornament but an extension of daily life—be it a ceremonial vessel or a typographic poster. This affinity reveals that cultural distance can be deceiving: beauty, when born of coherence, speaks a universal language. The Colors of Latin America and Their Meaning in Art Color in Latin American art is not mere decoration—it is language, emotion, and history. From Frida Kahlo’s deep blues to Cruz-Diez’s vibrant yellows, the continent’s palette tells centuries of blending and resistance. Red: passion, blood, life—but also protest. Blue: spirituality, the sea, introspection. Green: enduring nature, a symbol of hope. Yellow: light, energy, tropical vitality. Artists across the region use color as a manifesto: each stroke evokes identity, memory, and a desire for transformation. At Asheé Gallery, we celebrate this chromatic force that makes Latin American art a full sensory experience—capable of illuminating any space.

Cultural Connection Latin America in Zurich By Estela Ferrer Raveiro Asheé Gallery Zurich breathes minimalism: pure lines, neutral tones, spaces seeking serenity. Yet when Latin American art bursts into this city, a fascinating dialogue unfolds: the color, texture, and vitality of the Caribbean contrast—and simultaneously enrich—the Swiss aesthetic. The European eye faces a stimulating challenge: how does the chromatic intensity of a Caribbean piece coexist with the white, sober order of a Zurich gallery? What seems like opposition becomes complement. Swiss minimalism acts as the perfect canvas for Latin American art to unleash its power, inviting the viewer to step out of calm and into vibration. The Legacy of Frida Kahlo in Contemporary Art A clear example: the echo of Frida Kahlo in young artists. Her exploration of pain, identity, and the body continues to inspire, now reinterpreted through new Latin American lenses. Exhibited in Zurich, these works not only carry Frida’s memory but also highlight the universality of suffering and resilience—now engaging European audiences who find in them an unexpected mirror.

Collector’s Guide: Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art Many collectors in Switzerland still feel uncertain when approaching Latin American art. Onekey is to recognize its stages: Modern: marked by the intersection of tradition and avant-garde, with figures likeWifredo Lam or Torres García. Contemporary: diverse, hybrid, deeply connected to current social and political debates. García. Understanding these nuances allows one to appreciate not only aesthetic beauty but also the cultural and symbolic weight of each piece. Language is also a bridge. Knowing terms like chromatism (Farbigkeit), engraving (Radierung), or installation (Installation) creates an immediate connection between cultures. Speaking about art in both languages is not just practical—it’s a gesture of respect and openness. The richness of Latin American art is not confined to geographic borders. In Zurich, its presence becomes a unique differentiator: a reminder that color, history, and memory can also inhabit the most minimalist spaces.
