Curatorial context

The Museo Tiflológico hosted 'Fantasía Cromática. Las Meninas de Luz Galván,' an exhibition by Luz Galván, a painter recognized for her confident style and vibrant use of color despite her visual impairment. Born in Asturias in 1949, Galván began painting in 1993 and later affiliated with ONCE after being diagnosed with macular degeneration. Her work in this exhibition was described as full of enthusiasm, merging contemporary and unique elements through her distinctive floral subjects and her reinterpretation of 'Las Meninas.' This exhibition comprised twelve pieces, notably including 'La menina musical,' a mixed-media work in black and white that incorporated acrylics, collaged musical scores, and painted silks. This particular piece had been a finalist in the '25 years of the Tiflológico Museum of ONCE' visual arts competition, highlighting its significance. The exhibition aimed to present the artist's particular vision, uniting the current and contemporary aspects of her painting, especially through her interpretations of 'Las Meninas' and her particular way of depicting flowers.
