Amalgama: Watercolor Exhibition by Mercedes de la Fuente

In the Sala Polivalente of the Biblioteca Pública Municipal Ángel González in Madrid's Latina district, the exhibition 'Amalgama de agua y color' brings together decades of work by Valladolid-born artist Mercedes de la Fuente. The show reflects her lifelong practice, which began in childhood and was shaped by training at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Marqués de Cubas, with recent classes at the Arganzuela and Fernández de los Ríos cultural centers.

Visitors can expect a collection spanning plants, landscapes, flowers, still lifes, and portraits, all rendered in watercolor. The artist's approach, inspired by the pre-Socratic idea that in watercolor everything flows, invites viewers into a world of fleeting yet seemingly enduring nature—a flash of the everyday. This is her fifth exhibition, offering a quiet, contemplative experience in a public library setting.
