Zenén Vizcaíno, born in Havana and rooted in Saltillo, presents his works as symbolic stage sets where the intimate, the everyday, and the cultural coexist in a visual dialogue that challenges the academic with humor, memory, and a poetics in constant transformation.

About the Artwork
In Textura de contrarios, Vizcaíno contrasts two plates: one with asparagus, symbol of refinement and delicacy, and another with a crouching figure, raw and unsettling. The juxtaposition of food and human body, elegance and discomfort, exposes the absurdities of taste, consumption, and social inequality. The work operates as both satire and reflection, making the everyday uncanny.
