Nieves González – Sacred Hair / Capelli Sacri

Mostra personale.

Comunicato stampa

T293 gallery presents Sacred Hair / Capelli Sacri, the first solo exhibition in Italy by Spanish artist Nieves González (Huelva, 1996), curated by Victoria Rivers. The exhibition simultaneously marks the inauguration of the gallery's new location in Rome’s emblematic Piazza del Catalone, establishing a natural synergy between González's artistic vision and the experimental spirit that has characterized T293 since its foundation.

Nieves González recomposes the story of Mary Magdalene through the symbols that always surrounded her: hair, chalice, cave, blood. She thus recovers the disciple, the messenger, the spiritual force that history preferred to silence.

Sacred Hair / Capelli Sacri is conceived as an altarpiece where the classical and the contemporary dialogue to reveal the hidden. Structured from pictorial tradition, González remakes established canons from her perspective as a contemporary woman: the sacred passes through the filter of a contemporary aesthetic vision without ceasing to be mystery, transforming into something simultaneously recognizable and radically new.

The exhibition invites us to rewrite the narrative from creation itself, a gesture born from respect toward that generative power that was denied and distorted for centuries. A new code in which, finally, the word belongs to us.
