'Women in Watercolor 2025' Exhibition Celebrated the Feminine Perspective of Dominican Art

On February 8th, the exhibition "Women in Watercolor 2025" was inaugurated in the south corridor of Galerías 360, in Santo Domingo. The exhibition brought together works that explored Dominican identity through faces, carnivals, country houses, flowers, birds, and landscapes, interpreted with the freshness and delicacy characteristic of watercolor.

A total of 20 Dominican women artists participated in this edition: Ana María Nardo, Anny Ramón, Auris Díaz, Clarissa León, Dennyse Feliz, Elena Vargas, Johanna González, Laura Sánchez P., María Eugenia Monción, María Teresa Rayó, Maribel Veras, Katia San Millán, Mayra Ginebra, Miriam Miniño, Nancy Rodríguez, Nancy Smith, Paola Saldaña, Pilar Asmar, Priscila López, and Tere Medina.

Their works offered an intimate, feminine, and diverse perspective on the everyday and cultural elements of the country, connecting the public with an aesthetic that combines identity, emotion, and technique.

About the Watercolor Technique

The exhibition also highlighted the beauty of the process behind this technique. Watercolor consists of applying layers of color diluted in water, a method known as glazing, which allows working from light to dark to achieve the characteristic transparencies and subtleties. As layers are superimposed, the tones acquire greater depth. Paper or cardboard is generally used, reserving white areas to generate points of light, since white color is not used in this technique. Part of its charm lies in the flow of water on the surface, which sometimes moves freely, creating unique and unrepeatable effects.
