Artist Gisela Colón has opened her first retrospective exhibition, 'La montaña, el monolito (The Mountain, the Monolith),' at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico. The show, curated by Abdiel Segarra Ríos and Alexandra Méndez, features sculptures, paintings, video, and installations spanning over three decades of her career, with a focus on the organic forms of monoliths and mountains.
The exhibition is significant for its deep exploration of the connection between Puerto Rico's geography, geology, and personal biography. Presented on her native island, it reframes Colón's international artistic trajectory as a return to her origins, using materials and pigments from the local landscape to articulate a universal language of matter, memory, and transformation.
