View Exhibit Pablo Contrisciani: The Eyes of The Heart November 10, 2023 - May, 6 2024 Pablo Contrisciani’s artwork explores the Universe and its unity in the infinite diversity of elements. The paintings depict the multiplicity of the Universe: the juxtapositions between chaos and harmony, constant change and movement, each of its parts containing the whole. The combination of all these components creates a visual plurality that the artist calls: Energies.
