Sentido de un Lugar highlights the work of Jorge Luis Vega and María G. Albornoz. Both artists are inspired by memory and aspects of everyday life, creating within their respective works a rich sense of place.

Vega was raised in Puerto Rico. Inspired by the colors and contours of tropical landscapes, his stylized and often surreal paintings depict scenes of life in the Caribbean, featuring the interactions of people, animals, plants, and public settings which comprise daily island life. Throughout his work, Vega stokes emotional undertones, relaying notions of humor, fear, serenity, and vulnerability.

Albornoz was raised in Caracas, Venezuela. Her ceramic pieces reflect her appreciation of everyday life. Through wheel throwing and coil-building, Albornoz crafts functional vessels intended for everyday use, and she adorns these vessels with scenes of daily life - armchairs nestled between houseplants, dining tables set for dinner, and kitchens in the midst of cooking.

These celebrations of the commonplace elevate daily practices to extraordinary moments, portraying significance in the tranquility which domestic settings and daily rituals can provide.
