Todo Está Hecho de Luz

Gregory de la Haba

“With my art, I offer a reminder of the self-guiding mythopoeic potential available
to all people. [...] Find essential myth, often rooted in our most pronounced
ironies, and its cryptic truth could yield our deliverance, whether personal zen or
societal wisdom. My quest, embodied in my art, is so aspirationally marked.”
Todo Está Hecho de Luz
In Todo Está Hecho de Luz Gregory De La Haba explores the fundamental role of line in painting. Inspired by the delicate delineation of Jean Dominique Ingres and the bold strokes of Franz Kline, De La Haba's work reflects a lifelong fascination with line. This artwork is rooted in the belief that all humans are connected by an invisible, primordial life force. Through expressive lines, these paintings remind us that we are all made of light, and in this light, the beauty of the divine becomes visible.
