The work of Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre will be open to the public at the Castillo de Mata Museum during the European Night of Museums in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The exhibition, which brings back the most emblematic pieces from his plastic repertoire, will open on May 16 and will occupy a prominent place in the program of activities on May 18. It will remain at the Castillo until May 2025, before heading to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía for a monographic exhibition curated by Juan Vicente Aliaga.
The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council has organized the exhibition "Néstor or androgynous beauty. Painter of an illusory universe", which presents 69 works selected by the director of the Néstor Museum, Daniel Montesdeoca. The exhibition offers a broad overview of Martín-Fernández de la Torre's work, highlighting pieces such as "Hercules Raising the Tumulus of Pirene", which is being shown outside the museum for the first time since 1956.
In addition to portraits and mythological works, the exhibition includes representative works of Canarian modernism, such as "Epitalamio" and "Leda and the Swan". These works will be distributed across three rooms in the Castillo de Mata.
