Bernier/Eliades Gallery Athens, Ximena Maldonado Sánchez

Ximena Maldonado Sánchez, cardón, carmín y ola
Opening: MAY 8, 2025 - Running until JULY 10, 2025

The Bernier/Eliades Gallery is pleased to present the second solo exhibition of Ximena Maldonado Sánchez, “cardón, carmín y ola”, in Athens. Ximena Maldonado Sánchez’s paintings explore the relationships between humans and ecosystems, focusing on the textures, colours, and rhythms of plants and mineral formations. Her work is inspired by sensory experiences in the landscape and engages with themes of interconnection, ecological reciprocity, and the hidden dynamics within topography. Ximena Maldonado Sánchez’s artistic process begins with observing landscapes and evolves into a practice that engages the entire body while painting. Through a fluid weaving of figuration and abstraction, she conjures new and unfamiliar environments, navigating the realms where the two softly converge...

Born in 1999 in Irapuato, Mexico, Ximena Maldonado Sánchez earned her Master’s degree in Painting from ENSAV La Cambre in Brussels, Belgium, where she now lives and works.

ABOUT

Founded in Athens in 1977, the Bernier/Eliades gallery has always been at the forefront of contemporary art in Greece. Jean Bernier and Marina Eliades have introduced to the Greek public numerous artistic currents, such as Arte Povera, Minimalism, Land and Conceptual Art and the younger generation of American and European artists. In 2016, they opened a new space in Brussels located in the Chatelain district. Whilst maintaining their curatorial core of historical established artists, they added a different programming vision in Brussels with longer and specific projects. This experimental space serves as a platform to present young and upcoming international artists to the public.
