Visiting an art exhibition is always an invitation to explore the unknown, to let oneself be carried away by the senses and, at best, to listen to what the soul has to say when it encounters something that cannot be explained in words. This is the experience of "Sound of Color," the latest exhibition by artist Michael Schwarcz.
Schwarcz, whose artistic journey has taken him from his native Sweden to California, and finally to Mexico, has found in this country the ideal environment for his work to flourish. Throughout his career, he has embraced abstract expressionism as a means to channel deep emotions, and in this series of works, the artist invites us to listen to color, to feel the hidden rhythm in every stroke.
His work converses with the legacy of great abstract artists of the 1960s, such as Helen Frankenthaler or Mark Rothko. However, there is something that sets Schwarcz apart: his ability to make color not only speak but sing. Each piece in this exhibition seems to take us beyond the surface, suggesting that what truly matters is not what we see but what we feel when contemplating it. His work reflects the influence of California's great plein air artists, such as Phil Dike or Millard Sheets, who, like Schwarcz, sought to capture the intangible in every brushstroke.
The most remarkable aspect of this exhibition is not just the artist's masterful technique, but the intimate connection he establishes with the viewer. As he himself says, "Art speaks your silences through colors." In this exhibit, that statement comes to life: the paintings are not merely decorative objects, but pieces that seem to want to become part of everyday life, sparking silent conversations in the morning and offering comfort as night falls.
Michael Schwarcz's work has the ability to integrate itself into the life of the observer, and that is one of the great values that collectors and art lovers will appreciate in this exhibition. Owning one of his pieces is allowing art to become part of our deepest emotions; it is listening to those echoes of color that would otherwise remain dormant within us.
If you have not yet had the opportunity to immerse yourself in Schwarcz's vibrant palette, this is your chance to do so. We invite you to discover the symphony of colors he has created.

Nallely Moreno, communicologist, specialist in corporate communication, she has dedicated more than 20 years to creating and deliver communication strategies for different industries such as health, pharmaceutical, consumer brands, NGOs, among others. Her vision of work life is totally linked to the generation of value for society, the people around her and, above all, her own transcendence. She hardly gets involved in a project where leaving a piece of her soul is not worth it.
With the founding of the Galería Amarillo78, located in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, her dream of spreading art and culture materializes. Her goal is to create a space to experience art, to learn firsthand the history of artists, to be a link between collectors and to bring art closer to those who find it alien. Convinced that the artist's task is to fill the existential void, she believes that art, in any of its expressions, will be a decisive factor for social reconstruction.
"I am a free spirit, a lover of art in its different forms in my present life and in the past. I am a social observer in constant evolution and listening to others, I still have faith in humanity and I fervently believe in the transformative powers of art and love. I am a tireless worker, generator of ideas and smart networking."
"I believe in the importance of generating community to grow, heal and transcend in a personal, social and business way."
