Buenaventura
Exhibition textSeleka's work is an act of celebration. The title of this solo exhibition, Buenaventura, is also a declaration of intent: fortune as a vital attitude and joy as a way of being in the world.
Following a month-long residency in Lima, the Seville-based artist presents a series of canvases shaped by immersion, contemplation and play. In these works, his visual language expands without restraint.
In his paintings, each stroke of colour seems guided by a sense of good fortune and a palpable gratitude that acknowledges the complexity of the surrounding environment yet still celebrates the possibility of beauty. This optimism is not naïve, but a deliberate choice — a vital stance in the face of harsh reality. His aesthetic is generous and exuberant, yet never complacent.
The works gathered in Buenaventura condense a lived experience: forms that cluster and scatter; layers that build up like an urban palimpsest; and textures that evoke intervened walls, faded tags and overlapping footprints. The surface becomes a terrain in constant construction: a space where the present coexists with the past, and where time is revealed through layers of colour.
In this process, Seleka’s paintings are never static. It is a painting of the present, capturing immediate gestures and channelled energy. His compositions are not closed, overly rationalised images, but visual intuitions and impulses reflecting an open, curious approach to the world. There is a deep trust in the creative process — a trust that feels almost childlike, in the best sense of the word. It is like playing without fear of making mistakes, being completely immersed in the experience. -
