LORENA TORRES: NOTHING IS DIFFERENT

Nothing is Different is a deeply intimate exploration—a pictorial journey into Lorena Torres’s rawest and most personal emotions. Each work echoes a lived experience, the trace of a feeling that refuses to go unnoticed. For Torres, painting is not an aesthetic act, but a vital one. Her art becomes a diary, a confession, a mirror of obsessive sensitivity: a gaze that looks at the other with almost fetishistic intensity, when passion turns into madness, into overflow, into need.

In her work, the rural Caribbean is not a backdrop, but another protagonist: a living presence that breathes in the sliced onion, in the density of the countryside, in the nostalgia of a kiss. In this free union between artist, painting, and territory, a silent complicity is forged—one that escapes urban logic and takes root in a way of seeing and feeling that is deeply tied to her land.

Torres’s paintings evoke what cannot be spoken: the scent of orange blossoms, the trembling of wind in tamarind branches, the melancholy of twilight surrendering to the night. These are emotional landscapes where time becomes mist and realism is pierced by the dreamlike.

Nothing is different, Torres seems to tell us, because everything we’ve lived—though it may change form—continues pulsing somewhere in the body. And it is there, precisely there, where her painting waits for us: to be seen, not told.
