In Arde Gallery’s ABCdario, we highlight key elements of art and culture. The vessels by Ayres and Baron & Vicario pay homage to pre-Hispanic and Greek civilizations with symbolic details. The concept of void, used by Jorge Yazpik in his sculptures, conveys simplicity and balance. Additionally, in San Miguel de Allende, vineyards such as San Lucas, San Francisco, and Cuna de Tierra offer a unique wine experience in a picturesque setting.
VINEYARD | The field dedicated to one of life’s great pleasures
A vineyard is a plantation of vines dedicated to growing grapes for winemaking, where specific grape varieties are cultivated to produce high-quality wines. In San Miguel de Allende, several vineyards offer a unique experience for visitors, such as Viñedos San Lucas, San Francisco, La Santísima Trinidad, Viñedo San Miguel, and Tres Raíces, among others. It’s worth visiting them to learn about the winemaking process, from harvest to fermentation, and to taste local varieties in a natural and scenic setting. Additionally, many vineyards offer guided tours, tastings, restaurants, and cultural events, making the visit an unforgettable gastronomic and cultural experience. The San Miguel de Allende region provides ideal climate and soil conditions for grape cultivation, which is reflected in the quality of the wines produced in the area.
Void | The Essential Element Defining Art
Void is a concept that denotes the complete absence of matter and energy in a space. Physically, it refers to a state without particles, molecules, or radiation, implying the absence of pressure, temperature, and sound. Philosophically, it can symbolize nothingness or the absence of being. In art, void is used to convey simplicity, minimalism, and balance. In sculpture, the void creates forms that interact with the surrounding space, generating tension between presence and absence. Jorge Yazpik, one of the artists at Arde Gallery, uses void as a fundamental element in his creative process, capturing the viewer’s attention and exploring the relationship between presence and absence. By combining void with matter, artists like Yazpik invite reflection on new forms of expression and visual communication.
VESSEL | The timelss form
A vessel is a container, commonly cylindrical or spherical, made of ceramic, metal, or glass, used for storing liquids or food. Its design can reflect aesthetic and cultural value. At Arde Gallery, you’ll find an exceptional collection of vessels created by Ayres and Baron & Vicario, inspired by pre-Hispanic and Greek civilizations. These vessels are exquisite representations of ancient artistic forms, with intricate designs and symbolic details that evoke the rich cultural heritage of these early societies. Ayres and Baron & Vicario have masterfully reinterpreted these historical influences, creating pieces that not only pay homage to the past but also resonate with contemporary artistic sensibilities.
