Welcome to an Art Sobremesa: A Space to Linger and Reflect on Art

In Spanish and many Latin American cultures, "sobremesa" is more than just dessert. It’s the time spent lingering at the table after a meal, savoring the company of friends and family while enjoying conversation, coffee, and perhaps a small sweet treat. It’s a ritual of slowing down, digesting not just food but the shared moments and stories that make each gathering special. It’s about extending the experience, allowing it to breathe and settle, much like how art deserves to be experienced.

Inspired by this beautiful tradition, Sobremesas is a space where we do just that—linger over art, reflect, and engage in thoughtful conversation. Here, I’ll share my own reflections—sometimes personal, sometimes analytical—and invite you to take a slow and mindful approach to experiencing art, whether it’s a painting, a sculpture, or even a fleeting moment of creativity. Just as sobremesa encourages us to appreciate the subtleties of a meal, we’ll explore the nuances of artworks, savoring each detail, color, and texture.
