UNICEF España is participating for the first time in the International Contemporary Art Fair —ARCOmadrid— with Hoy es mañana [Today Is Tomorrow], a work by contemporary artist Guillermo Mora that incorporates the experiences and perspectives of children and adolescents into the creative process. Conceived through encounter and dialogue, the piece places childhood at the center of the artistic discourse and presents contemporary art as a space for listening and reflection on the challenges of growing up today.

With this first participation in the art fair, the organization takes a step toward consolidating its presence in the Spanish contemporary art scene, opening up new ways of collaboration between artistic creation and children’s rights. The funds raised from its sale will be allocated in full to UNICEF’s programs.

Color, although it does not exist as an autonomous material entity, is essential for understanding our experience of the world. From cave paintings to contemporary digital practices, it has been the subject of constant reflection for artists, philosophers, and scientists. While for centuries its role was debated and subordinated to representation and the primacy of line, the emergence of abstract art at the beginning of the 20th century allowed color to attain full autonomy and become a structuring principle of the artistic work.

On Color in Art (Coloramas) presents the work of a selection of twenty contemporary artists whose practice centers on color. The curatorial team is composed of Manuel Fontán del Junco and María Zozaya Álvarez (Fundación Juan March), Aníbal Santaella (Existe Artlab), in collaboration with Federico Jaime and Fernando Mañes (Seville City Council).
