Esperanza Mayobre
Nada se trata de nada todo se trata de mucho


Esperanza Mayobre creates stories that question problems that in the most part have no answers. The themes that she explores have been those that we generally do not want to talk about. Through narratives of sickness, death, birth, poverty, debt and immigration, among other subjects, she employs a variety of visual formats. Creating works from disparate elements that reflect the compartmentalization and varied nature of our lives.
