Universus seeks to recall the idea of the encounter of different ways of seeing the world, unified by the same means of expression: art. With this term, we intend not only to refer to the unity that these artists share; but even to the oppositions that arise among them.
Of Latin origin, the word Universus includes an idea of a whole, as well as a combination of parts and shapes. This group of selected works seeks to account for the singularities of each of the artists, arranged in such a way that each piece refers to an individuality that is also an essential part of a whole.
