Opening March 8: Searching & Finding Hidden Heritage, New Works by Peter Daniel Bernal
For Bernal, art is not just about aesthetics—it’s about existence, resistance, and the raw, unpredictable journey of creation. Whether capturing landscapes, exploring identity, or simply reveling in the act of making, his work stands as a testament to the power of artistic expression in an ever-changing world.
