This exhibition offers an exhaustive review of the archive of Ana Mercedes Hoyos (1942–2014), a central but often misunderstood figure in Colombian modernism, whose work has been limited by a characterization based on thematic "periods." The show spans her entire career with artworks, sketches, and documents, moving beyond chronology to propose a critical revision of the transversal lines that articulate her powerful legacy.

The unifying element in her work, which titles the show, is light: its constant fluctuations, atmospheric quality, and the rich fields of color that flood her canvases. Her photographic archive reveals she used the camera as a chromatic logbook to capture the elusive nature of light. Her working methodology was systematic and consistent, centered on re-framing, iterating, and synthesizing the image. The sketches and process drawings demonstrate a continuous exercise of rewriting, leading each series from formal abundance to a forceful synthesis. Far from being conclusive, the exhibition emphasizes Hoyos's constant reinvention, offering a comprehensive and human vision of her vast body of work.

This exhibition was hosted in the space that, throughout her life, Hoyos called her workshop, home and refuge
