"Echoes: Beginner's Mind" Art Opening + Light Snacks & Wine (The Castro)
Briefly

The article announces an art opening for Rolando Saenz, scheduled for June 6th, focusing on his new series that delves into vulnerability and identity. Saenz's work, which uses minimalism and gold leaf, illustrates his personal struggles with mental health. By portraying nude bodies alongside concepts of protection and freedom through vejigante masks, he seeks to engage viewers in a discussion about visibility and personal narrative. The event will feature light refreshments and aims to make art accessible to a diverse audience.
Through figures both masked and unmasked, I examine the tension between concealment and openness. The inclusion of vejigante masks highlights themes of protection and freedom, prompting a conversation about the complexity of being seen.
This series explores vulnerability through dynamic portrayals of nude bodies, using minimalism to emphasize both the figure and empty space, representing my journey through mental health challenges and recovery.
