Introducing
The Gazes of Papua 2011-2023. Jose Luis De Juan
Paintings from the collection "The Gazes of Papua” include a selection of artworks from exhibitions - "Papua" (2011), "Ab Origine" (2012) and "Aborigine" (2013), as well as several small-format paintings and collages (2020-2023).
"The Gazes of Papua" offers a deep connection with the indigenous peoples of Papua New Guinea, a civilization that entered the consciousness of the Western world in 1930. In less than a century, this vibrant culture has undergone a profound transformation, unwittingly parting with cherished customs, culture and identity. Our collection strives to bridge this gap and immerse ourselves in their world, allowing their unique point of view to speak to us.
Do we see their soul through their soulful gazes, or do they reflect our souls in their eyes?
