Mariana Paniagua Cortés’s Para Caer Después del Sueño at Mimo presents paintings in oil, acrylic, and encaustic. Layers of pigment pile up like detritus—from egg to cosmogenesis—so scale slips between micro and macro and the line between inside and outside softens. Cracks let light into cave-like space; each opening holds both crypt and matrix, an origin of life bound to accumulation.
