Est quod visum placet

Beautiful is what pleases the eye

- Saint Thomas Aquinas

Something that surprises me in life is the wonder of consciousness, that window that suddenly opens onto a sunny landscape in the middle of the night of not being.

- Vladimir Nabokov

This thought inspires the show that Patricia Conde Galería is presenting on this occasion, a series of windows to nature in the work of:
