Pablo A. Medina’s paintings, textiles and assemblages transform urban decay into compositions shaped by the interplay of intentionality and chance. Informed by Buddhist, Yoruba-Ifá, and indigenous traditions, as well as the cultural and visual influences of his Caribbean heritage, his work explores the space between the visible and the unseen, inviting the viewer to experience realities beyond their ordinary perception.

Las pinturas, los textiles y los ensamblajes de Pablo A. Medina transforman el deterioro urbano en composiciones moldeadas por la interacción entre la intencionalidad y el azar. Nutrida por tradiciones budistas, yoruba-ifá e indígenas, así como por las influencias culturales y visuales de su herencia caribeña, su obra explora el espacio entre lo visible y lo invisible, invitando al espectador a experimentar realidades que trascienden la percepción cotidiana.
