Inspired by Dante Alighieri's Paradiso, "Paradise Found" explores contemporary ideas of heaven and the pearly gates. Not as a nirvana or final destination, but as a state of mind for the living. One that can be accessed through art.
Featuring artworks by 13 extraordinary emerging women artists from around the globe. Attuned philosophically while diverse in background, style and medium: oil on canvas, mixed media, sculpture, photography, poetry, textile, and digital art.
Could it be that getting to heaven doesn't require from us a grand gesture?
These artists certainly seem to believe that paradise awaits in what's apparently small and banal.
WHEN: JUNE 13, 2024
TIME: 1PM TO 8PM
WHERE: 273 CHURCH ST. NYC
Featuring original artworks by Candace Ceslow, Erika Ehrman, Beth Kent, Constanza Laguna, Marcia Lorente Howell, Irene Marzo, Isabella Mendez, Justine Miller, Fares Micue, Adaeze Okaro, Rain, Shana Roark and Jimena Sanchez-Roselly.

Surfergirl brings 17 new women artists to Miami Art Basel.
As Miami Art Basel 2023 approaches, an exceptional exhibition is set to captivate attendees not within the confines of a gallery or fair, but in two distinct public spaces: the JP Morgan Chase building's lobby at 1450 Brickell Avenue and a local flowershop in Little Havana.
Presented by the Consulate of Spain in Miami and meticulously curated by Surfergirl Gallery, the exhibition unites ten exceptionally talented women artists from Spain under the unified theme of "Marina." Drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing beauty and enigmatic chaos of the ocean, these artists offer an unparalleled collection that transcends traditional boundaries. Through their artwork, they evoke a profound narrative—viewing nature not as a garden but through a resolute feminine lens fixed upon the sea's essence.
"Marina," connotating "of the sea" in Spanish and doubling as a woman's name, encapsulates the essence of a safe harbor. The exhibition invites introspection on our treatment of both ourselves and the natural world. The dynamic relationship we share with the ocean mirrors our internal dynamics.
Exploring themes ranging from the profound to the mundane—addressing climate change and consumerism—the collection weaves a tapestry of diverse mediums. From oil on canvas, mixed media, and textile fine art to photography, acrylics, sculpture, poetry, and even cutting-edge expressions like NFTs and a virtual 3D gallery, these works beckon viewers to contemplate and immerse themselves in introspection. Can this metaphorical mermaid guide us back to our origins?
This groundbreaking exhibition introduces original and unique works by Paloma García-Cabanes, Angela Gómez Durán, Paloma Góngora, Constanza Laguna, Gloria Loizaga, Marcia Lorente Howell, Veronica Mar, Irene Marzo, María Ortega, and Jimena Roselly, making their debut in Miami's artistic landscape.
The artistic wave continues with Surfergirl's captivating flowershop pop-up in Little Havana. Presenting an array of works by Spanish Surfergirls, including Fares Micue, alongside American artists Candace Ceslow, Erika Ehrman, Beth Kent, Justine Miller, and Shana Roark, as well as Nigerian photographer Adaeze Okaro and Surferboy José Moñú. In collaboration with Studio 4's Archipelago exhibit by Cam Schimdt and Serena Spadaro's "What The Flower Oh My Garden". Sponsored by Santo Gusano mezcal and Real Nifty.
