Jesús Mejía presents a new body of paintings in his exhibition “Consagración de la carroña”, opening at Galería Talentum 13 October 2026.

Animals have long appeared in Mejía’s work, but in this new series they take on a more central role. Sheep, wolves, vultures, hyenas and goats are used to explore ideas around innocence, submission, aggression and control.

Inspired by Baroque painting, tenebrism and religious imagery, Mejía creates large-scale figurative scenes in which human and animal forms are closely connected. Across the series, ideas of violence, power and dogma are brought into a contemporary setting.

Swipe to see three works from the new series 👉🏻

Interview | Mariana Jiménez Zúñiga
Art Studio Papagayo Park

We chatted with artist and educator Mariana Jiménez Zúñiga to learn about Art Studio Papagayo’s workshop programme at Papagayo Park on the peninsula—where ceramics, printmaking and painting classes offer residents a hands-on way to engage with Costa Rica’s indigenous artistic traditions.

Working alongside Brandon Romero Castillo from Guaitil, Mariana has helped build a programme that weaves together Pre-Columbian techniques, contemporary practice and the peninsula’s natural environment. From functional ceramics to ocean-inspired forms, workshops with guest artisans and open studio sessions— it’s about responding to tradition and place.

Our conversation with Mariana touches on teaching ancient techniques to beginners, why the peninsula’s landscape matters and how ceramics connects us across thousands of years.

Studio Visit : Gema Ossenbach

Last month we visited ceramicist Gema Ossenbach in her Tres Ríos studio near Cartago. Spanish-born, Costa Rica-based for forty years, Gema makes contemporary work within one of the longest ceramic traditions in the Americas. Costa Rica has been a centre of ceramic practice for close to four thousand years.

The studio is extraordinary. Gema walked us through her processes from start to finish. Full studio visit on the blog — link in bio 👆🏻

Thank you .ceramica

**A new exhibition arrives at **

Jaime Gurdián | From the Shore

Opening reception
Friday 20 March, 6–9pm
Zarpe, Playas del Coco

Live music by Marjo and special cocktails by Zarpe 🍸

Exhibition continues through 13 April.

MÍRAME Fine Art presents a selection of new paintings by Jaime Gurdián, inspired by the textures of the Guanacaste coast.

Having been fascinated with the region’s shores since childhood, Gurdián has developed a practice of mixing sand directly into the paint, building textured surfaces that evoke the grain and weight of the coastal landscapes.

From the Shore also marks the debut of his new technique of incorporating crushed natural river stone into the canvas — sourced from the rivers and terrain that ultimately meet the ocean.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Catalogue available upon request.
Enquiries via DM.
