1 VOICE 1.000 FORMS
“1 Voice, 1,000 Forms” is a group exhibition bringing together contemporary women artists who, through very diverse visual languages, build a shared territory: the female voice in today’s art.
The exhibition starts from a simple yet powerful idea — one voice, a thousand forms — to explore how femininity is not a single or closed category, but a plural space of experiences, perspectives, and emotions. Through painting and sculpture, each artist offers a different interpretation of the world, the body, and identity, creating a mosaic of sensibilities that intersect and speak to one another.
Here, different voices coexist: a visceral and emotional voice expressed through intuition and the body; a more classical voice that reinterprets figurative tradition through technique and memory; a surrealist voice that opens the door to symbolism, the unconscious, and poetic imagery; and a young, emerging voice that looks toward the future with freedom, irony, and a desire for change.
Artists such as Ana Riaño, Dilka Bear, Harumi Shinozuka, Ines Jimm, Inma Coll, Lisa Gingles, Mandy Shadows, Nayra López Martos, Nicoletta Tomas, Nuria Torres, Silvia Bignami, and Susana Ragel shape this landscape, where art becomes a language of affirmation and diversity.
“1 Voice, 1,000 Forms” offers a reflection on the multiplicity of femininity in contemporary art, moving away from clichés and labels, and reclaiming the strength of difference. More than a thematic exhibition, it is a meeting between women who create, who transform matter into emotion, and who, through their individuality, amplify a collective voice.
BREAKING WALLS
BREAKING WALLS is an invitation to view the wall as a space in permanent transformation: a surface that records tensions, desires, and collective memories. The exhibition brings together a diverse group of urban artists who, from different aesthetic and personal perspectives, engage with the skin of the city to reveal its hidden layers. Their works—whether direct interventions on walls, reinterpretations of street techniques, or experimental explorations—challenge the immobility of everyday life and open new ways of reading the urban environment.
The exhibition is structured around a central idea: the wall as a boundary, but also as a threshold. In the hands of urban art, what once separated becomes a fertile territory where creativity erodes rigidity and generates new forms of encounter. The pieces presented in BREAKING WALLS demonstrate how the artistic gesture— even when born from urgency or spontaneity—can become an act of symbolic resistance and a tool for reimagining the spaces we share.
Throughout this journey, BLACKLIGHT ART GALLERY also proposes a necessary reflection on equality within the field of urban art itself. Despite its free spirit and democratic vocation, the street has historically been a stage dominated by male artists. In response to this tendency, BREAKING WALLS offers a conscious balance between female and male creators—not as an act of correction, but as an affirmation that a plurality of voices is essential to understanding the true richness of the urban language. The presence of female artists brings new narratives, sensitivities, and formal approaches that expand the usual imagery of the genre and enrich the viewer’s experience.
Each intervention functions as a crack through which something new emerges; a glow that reveals the vitality of an art unafraid of change, born from direct contact with the street and nourished by its unpredictable energy.
BREAKING WALLS is a tribute to the transformative power of urban art—a journey that celebrates diversity, amplifies voices that deserve to be heard, and suggests that when walls stop imposing themselves as barriers, the city transforms into a space open to imagination, equality, and creative freedom.
TIMELESS ART
TIMELESS ART: HEIGHTENED PERCEPTION OF REALITY
The common thread of TIMELESS ART is realism—a language oscillating between classical tradition and evocative fantasy. This exhibition brings together contemporary artists who share exceptional technical mastery while diverging in vision to explore the boundaries of the real and the imaginary.
The gallery becomes a space of serene contemplation, where viewers can immerse themselves in works of technical virtuosity and conceptual depth. Here, realism is not merely a faithful representation of the world but a starting point for amplifying perception: details intensify, emotions deepen, and reality is reinterpreted.
Some artists present reality with near-hyperbolic sharpness, inviting us to notice what would ordinarily go overlooked. Others introduce fantastical or symbolic elements that transform the everyday into something extraordinary.
Guided by the concept of “windows to possible worlds,” each piece acts as a portal into personal and poetic universes, where technical mastery is the key that unlocks new ways of seeing and feeling.
TIMELESS ART is an invitation to lose ourselves in the beauty of figuration and to engage with scenes that will resonate long after we leave the gallery.
DREAMLAND
The feeling that Dreamland awakens is the illusion of being in a place where fantasy truly exists.
Upon entering, we dissolve—wand-waving—the armor that has forced us to grow up in the worst possible way. And pure joy emerges, the joy of discovering a space where imagination has been crowned atop the dreams of others.
Conscious dreams, born from the skilled minds of master artists.
Here, we are all Alice, plunging—from the edge of a child’s diving board who never wanted to disappear—into the adventure of a surprise journey.
We look around carefully, we choose, and we take the invisible hand of the creator, the Artist, to chromatically blend ourselves with that dream we would have loved to have.
Because in truth, dreams are not chosen: they happen. And they happen freely, whether we like them or not.
Tender, powerful, terrifying, dystopian, romantic, destructive, glamorous, sensual, labyrinthine, chaotic—that is the indestructible world of dreams. Free, plural, and random.
Dreamland offers us, like the best cinema, the illusion of choosing a room with a view of a dream that isn’t ours, but that we adore.

INNER STREET
Art characterizes us as a species. It is in the essence of our nature.
Before writing, we already knew how to represent the animals around us pictorially, with anatomical precision. Our symbolic ability has made us the humans we are today.
It is undoubtedly strange that sometimes Art is not given the importance it deserves. The need of expressing ourselves through painting, engraving, or sculpture is an intrinsic part of our evolution.
It has been observed that in some prehistoric caves, different tribes have intervened in the same space over various periods, even altering the meaning of previous representations. It is not difficult to link these interventions with contemporary Urban Art. The artists express themselves but do not become the owners of the spot. Once the artwork is finished, it remains in a space exposed to the creative freedom of the next person.
In the collective exhibition INNER STREET, we wanted to recreate, through the artists’ interventions on the walls of the gallery, the impermanent spirit of Urban Art. The works represented on the walls will cease to exist when the exhibition ends. Not to be replaced by better art, but by different art. Time passes inside the gallery just as it does on the street—never stopping.
FIGURATIVE FANTASY
In the collective show Figurative Fantasy, we have the feeling of having created a catalog of portals to other worlds.
Our desire is that the viewer manages to find in the works that symbiotic sensation that approaches us suddenly, when our DNA and that of the artist are combined spontaneously. The artist, through his discourse, is capable of enveloping us in his fantasy, which at that moment also becomes our own.
Marrying our sensibility with that of another human being is something tremendously delicate, it either happens or it doesn’t happen. There is art that leaves us indifferent and art that captures us.
Often we are attracted to a familiar aesthetic, especially the one we have grown up with, a visual language we have lived with and have already deciphered, so it is not a challenge for us, since it is part of our imaginary.
But sometimes we find a form of expression that shocks us, sometimes we may even dislike it at first, but for some reason it keeps our curiosity, our desire to observe and see what it means and why. And right at that moment it is possible that the artist has opened a new world for us.
The instant in which the spectator communes with a new form of expression is the instant in which his mind has begun to interpret and integrate a new language, a different symbology, a new way of interpreting color, form or technique. This new acquired knowledge will nestle inside him, enriching his visual culture.
Understanding different modes of expression enriches our way of perceiving reality. Artists gift us with small pieces that help us to understand an intensely diverse world.
POP SURREALISM AND OTHER STORIES
The mass moves in unison, when something is not in fashion it rejects it, and if that something has strength, a subculture emerges.
The LOWBROW art (POP SURREALISM) was born in California in the late 70s, and at that time, it was not what was in style.
Those artists, derogatorily called LOWBROW, were inspired by popular images that had accompanied the fantasies of their childhood and dared to elevate them to the pinnacle of art, of ART with capital letters.
Art understood as a work done with exquisite technique that, encompassed in a unique imaginary context, can immerse the viewer in a delightful sensory delight.
In a society that seems to have arbitrarily decided that to be an adult, one must first give up fantasy, these artists have been tremendously disobedient.
Their works are an open window to their intimate world. They build scenarios populated with popular references, show themes that concern them, raise doubts to the viewer, and dare to expose feelings that no one wants to talk about.
They teach us that fantasy is not just for children. In short, they are a breath of fresh air.
ART FAIRS
JUSTMAD 2026
Project Summary
Blacklight Art Gallery presents Urban Constellations, an exhibition proposal that reaffirms the role of Valencian urban art as one of the most solid and evolved expressions of emerging contemporary art. Participation in JUSTMAD 2026 aims to consolidate the gallery as a bridge between urban culture and new artistic languages gaining presence in national and international art fairs.
The project brings together unpublished studio works — along with site-specific interventions created for the fair — by three of the most influential Valencian urban artists of the last decade: DEIH, Julieta XLF, and Vinz Feel Free. Each artist contributes a distinct visual narrative, deeply connected to the graphic and cultural identity of Valencia.
Curatorial Concept
Urban Constellations
The proposal is built around the idea of the city as a constellation composed of multiple layers: architectural, social, emotional, and symbolic. The works function as three “stars” or nodes within this visual map, activating new narratives around identity, body, fantasy, intimacy, and resistance.
1. The City as an Emotional Archive
DEIH and his neo-futuristic universe incorporate science fiction and sequential narrative to address memory, personal journeys, and transformation. His work supports an introspective reading of urban space.
2. The Poetics of the Feminine Figure
Julieta XLF presents dreamlike, colorful imagery rooted in identity. Her female characters act as guardians of tenderness and imagination amid urban chaos, introducing an emotional and symbolic dimension.
3. The Body as a Political Space
Vinz explores the relationship between human, animal, and social identities through hybrid characters. His work addresses freedom, desire, control, and resistance, questioning public and private boundaries.
Together, these languages create a strong and diverse narrative about contemporary urban art.
