In this exhibition, Jose Manuel Arevalo Blanco, enters an intimate territory where memory and play intertwine in a gesture of delicate evocation. Through beaches, landscapes, faded umbrellas and playful objects that float like vestiges of a distant childhood, the artist articulates a visual poetic that transcends mere representation, activating a deeply emotional experience in the viewer deeply rooted in what was lived.

His work does not seek to capture the reality of those bygone summers, but rather to revive their resonance: the echoes of salt on the skin, the vibrant geometry of a canvas in the wind, the intermittent shadow of a game that unfolds and dissolves in the sand. Each image works as a time capsule, like a memory suspended between the accuracy of the visual and the fragility of the emotional.

Arevalo uses an aesthetic that combines the material with the symbolic, the narrative with the sensorial. The soft forms, the colors mated by light and time, and the visual rhythms of his compositions refers both to personal memory and a collective memory of the ephemeral. His work does not reconstruct the past, it invokes it with the melancholy of someone who knows that every game is, at the same time, a celebration and a farewell.

In this body of work, the artist invite us to look at these everyday  and seemingly harmless elements  with different eyes. Umbrellas, balls, sandcastles: here they became portals to the intangible, signs of a lost innocence but never entirely absent. It is on that threshold between image and emotion, between the present and its diffuse reflection where Arevalo places his gaze.
