Oscar Contreras Rojas

Meet Óscar Contreras Rojas, a Mexican painter, in one of the cities he now calls home: Florence. In this intimate interview, he shares how his work explores the subtle boundary between perception and intuition. His deeply personal approach seeks to capture what lies just beyond the visible—shapes, memories, and atmospheres that exist between seeing and sensing. Contreras Rojas’s practice is a continuous search for balance, where forms emergenot only from observation of the world, but also from within the self.
