Mary Frances Attías Presented Intimate Essays at SanGiovanni Art Gallery

On September 25th, visual artist and Dominican photographer Mary Frances Attías inaugurated her exhibition Intimate Essays at the SanGiovanni Art Gallery, located in Santo Domingo's Colonial City. The show remained open to the public for one month.

Intimate Essays brought together a selection of artist proofs and small formats that revealed Attías's sensitive perspective on memory, landscape, and the human footprint. Through color and black-and-white photographs, the exhibition offered an intimate journey combining textures, light, and fragments of everyday life, inviting viewers to discover the hidden poetry in simplicity.

The exhibition was part of the artist's solid trajectory, whose work has been presented in solo exhibitions such as Corpus Naturae (2024), Fugaces (2023), and Camino a Santiago (2019-2020), as well as in important group shows within and outside the country, including the XXX National Biennial of Visual Arts and the Photographic Image Biennial at the Museum of Modern Art in Santo Domingo. Her work has also participated in international fairs such as Art Basel Miami, Barcelona International Art Fair, and Carrousel du Louvre in Paris.

The Intimate Essays catalog included series such as Fugaces, Nature Interrupted, Human Objects, and Fête de Rue à Paris, presented in limited editions and mountings in different formats. The public could access the complete catalog through a QR code available in the gallery and in the press dossier.

All sales generated by the exhibition were donated to the Timeart Foundation, thus supporting Timeart's university scholarship program, which promotes the education of talented young Dominicans with limited resources and social commitment.
