Wuthering Heights / Cumbres borrascosas, 2026

Andru Suarez Rojas  

A surrealist vision emerges through delicate watercolor. An anthropomorphic rabbit stands center stage. The figure wears a heavy green Victorian gown. This dress serves as a canvas for hidden narratives. Small oval portraits adorn the fabric. These miniatures depict women who challenge tradition. Each tiny face whispers a story of rebellion or villainy. 
The artist blends cultural legacies. A small cat rests in a fold of the garment. This feline presence evokes the ancient goddess Bastet. Above the scene floats a solitary celestial portrait. It creates a sense of a dreamlike non-place. The style marries the whimsy of Beatrix Potter with the visionary depth of Leonora Carrington. 
Every line is precise. The textures are soft yet detailed. The presence of the rabbit signals a dialogue on identity and disguise. This piece transforms folklore into a timeless meditation on femininity. Soft floral accents dot the dark fabric. The background remains a warm neutral void. This focus directs the eye toward the intricate layering of the gown and the steady gaze of the creature.

Confessions is a series of works inspired by Marcel Duchamp's concept of the box in a valise. Taking the act of unpacking a box as its departure point, these pieces reveal playful, lighthearted details that progressively shift into profound vulnerability as the viewer engages with them.

Andru Suárez Rojas (b. 1994, Barrancas, Colombia) is a contemporary artist who explores folklore through staged compositions that interrogate identity, transvestism, and time. His work constructs dreamlike, "non-place" environments dedicated to preserving history and memory by synthesizing the Surrealist legacy of Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, and Frida Kahlo with the delicate illustrative sensibilities of Beatrix Potter. Rejecting modern pop culture, Suárez Rojas roots his anthropomorphic figures in ancient mythology, literature, and everyday scenes. Within Victorian landscapes that engage in deliberate aesthetic globalization and artistic hybridization, rabbits symbolize transvestism through the narrative of The Ballad of Mulan, while cats channel the Egyptian goddess Bastet as cultural bridges. Amidst these complex thematic dialogues, native South American animals, such as the capybara, embody a serene and quiet observation.
