The Eternal State of Being Away: Claudia Torán

The Eternal State of Being Away invites us into the world of Claudia Torán, a young artist who delves into the experience of being in transit, living between here and there. This exhibition immerses us in a visual realm where distance and movement are constant, reflecting the sensation of always being somewhere in between. Through scenes that blend the everyday with the surreal, Torán creates a world brimming with color and theatricality, where the act of "being away" becomes a metaphor for memory and dreams—fragmented, shifting, and always in transformation.

Torán’s works, rich in contrasting elements, explore this state of distance and movement: horses in golden tones represent calm and introspection, while bicycles in vivid greens evoke an endless journey. This interplay of stillness and dynamism captures the ambiguous nature of memory, where some moments are vividly clear and others fade, leaving us in an intermediate space, perpetually in transit. Through her sculptures and paintings, Torán captures the restlessness of a young generation, full of questions, color, and energy, pushing against conventions and finding fertile ground in uncertainty.

The gallery becomes a space of simultaneous distance and nearness, where the familiar and the strange meet in continuous flow. The Eternal State of Being Away is not just an exhibition but an experience of this ongoing journey, an invitation to inhabit distance and pause, reminding us that life itself is a constant transit between what we leave behind and what remains unknown.
