07 – DESAPARECER LA RUINA
by Elti Alejandro
“The city of La Paz is surrounded by ruins: Paraíso del Mar, the Fishermen's Market, Aero California, La Perla de La Paz, Gran Baja, Sunset Residential, Hotel Los Arcos, among others—projects that were abandoned or left unfinished. Our identity is born from the landscape; if it's ruined, so is our identity. I want to gradually erase this human waste with paint, transforming it into monuments to the landscape.”

10 – GALERÍA EN BLANCO
At En Blanco we believe that a space is not complete without housing a work of art.
We offer a unique service for searching, selecting, and acquiring strictly original art from our wide selection of Mexican and international artists. From paintings, sculptures, and murals to one-of-a-kind works of art.
Art transforms an ordinary space into an extraordinary environment. An investment in art nourishes your soul, expands your knowledge, and elevates your surroundings.
