EVENTS

Cami d'Art Exhibition / De Souza Gallery
Ermita Sant Sebastià, Cervera del Maestre, Spain

This month, Marianna Magurudumian-O’Reilly participated in the Camí d’Art group exhibition at De Souza Gallery, held in the historic Ermita Sant Sebastià, perched in the hilltop village of Cervera del Maestre. She exhibited a selection of recent paintings, developed from deep observations of the local landscape of Baix-Ebre, Catalonia. Her work explores dreamlike landscapes that layer memories of the North Caucasus where she grew up with the wild, untamed beauty of Catalonia.

The evening was electric, bringing together an inspiring group of artists and art lovers in a truly magical setting. Special recognition goes to curator Fred de Souza for orchestrating such an extraordinary event.

A highlight of the evening was the video created by Emma Plunkett, AKA VJ Miss Plunkett. A multidisciplinary artist with a background in live video performance, painting, and sculpture, she has performed extensively across Europe, creating immersive visual experiences that combine vibrant, surreal imagery with intuitive, expressive video mixing. Experience the exhibition through Emma Plunkett’s lens in the video below.
