Art often travels before we do, crossing landscapes, languages and lived experiences, forming bridges where maps would show oceans — this exhibition becomes a poetic meeting ground between Argentina and India, shaped by shared sensibilities and quiet dialogue.

Bridges of Art: A Journey from Argentina to India is a cross-cultural exhibition exploring contemporary Argentinian art through digital collage, watercolour and photography. Showcased in India, the exhibition reflects themes of landscape, memory, movement, stillness and cultural dialogue, creating a meaningful artistic exchange between two nations through visual storytelling.

Bridges of Art: A Journey from Argentina to India emerges as one such poetic crossing: a coming together of distinct creative sensibilities, each offering a unique cultural gaze, yet collectively shaping a conversation that transcends borders.

The exhibition brings together the works of Julia Romano, Pablo Ramírez Arnol and Gerardo Korn, whose diverse practices — spanning digital collage, watercolour and photography — converge to create a layered, immersive dialogue between Argentina and India, grounded in shared human experience and artistic curiosity.

This exhibition becomes more than the presentation of Argentinian art in India. It is an encounter. A dialogue. A weave of gazes — how artists shaped by Argentina view the world, and how India reflects itself back through their work.

Across digital collage, watercolour and photography, the works share a common pursuit: the pursuit of place — as memory, as movement, as stillness. Environments are explored not knowing as geography alone, but as emotional, cultural and imaginative terrain. Landscapes become vessels of experience and reflection, revealing how deeply we are shaped by the places we inhabit and love.

Fragments of foliage, architecture, silhouettes, symbols and freehand drawing come together as visual journals celebrating the magnificence of both the natural and built environment. These compositions invite viewers to embrace the raw, unspoiled essence of the world and our intrinsic relationship with it. Landscapes here are not simply representations; they are pathways to self-recognition. They ask us to pause, reflect and enter quiet encounters with place, exploring the interconnectedness between nature and ourselves. India emerges as a shared space of wonder, belonging and cultural stillness.

The Rhythm of Everyday Life

Movement flows through the exhibition as rhythm and observation. Everyday life unfolds through coastlines, streets, monasteries, mountains and crowds. Buildings take on character, people dissolve into colour, and the ocean breathes as a reminder of time’s passage. Rooted in lived experience, these works celebrate how art rises from daily life, connecting people and cultures the way water finds its path — fluid, open and alive.

Stillness, too, finds powerful expression. Cities appear at their quietest hour, emptied of people, when fog settles, streets fall silent, and architecture seems to hold its breath. Created through patience, discipline and devotion, these images become meditations — moments where the artist becomes a solitary witness while the world sleeps.

Alongside this urban hush, the natural world is abstracted into sculptural forms: curling leaves transformed into ribbons of light and colour. Photography expands beyond documentation into visual art, rooted in nature yet soaring into abstraction, inviting us to look again and rediscover the overlooked elegance around us.

Building Cultural Bridges

Together, these works build bridges — between Argentina and India, between artistic languages, between memory, movement and stillness.

“With Bridges of Art: A Journey from Argentina to India, we are not simply exhibiting artworks; we are establishing a formal dialogue between two nations through artistic merit and shared values. This exhibition celebrates cultural kinship, resilience and beauty, and reminds us that every place we encounter, every landscape we love, ultimately becomes a part of who we are,” shares the Curator, Jalpa H Vithalani, Cosmic Heart Gallery.

“I'm pleased to host this exhibition at the Residence of Argentina in Delhi. Its variety, in form and content, represent some of the best expressions of current Argentine art, and I'm sure it will serve the purpose of showcasing what Argentina's visual expressions can offer to the Indian public,” shares H. E. Mariano Caucino, Ambassador of the Argentine Republic.
