“Glimpses of the Astral” Exhibit Statement
In
this collection Acosta aims not at imitating reality as it is but at exploring
the world of the subconscious the realm of dreams; where images don't necessary
make sense. The inexplicable place where objects as characters from
distant eras and places play together, as if they existed on the same period or
place. The mysterious esoteric symbolism that evokes an idea or a period of our
lives or our most lucid dreams. His pieces often take you to an
abandoned, but beautiful place that were ignored in between relevant events,
but are now understood.

non-profit gallery is devoted to representing the distinctive and offers
premium quality original works of art! The monies raised support Abuse
Counseling and Treatment, Inc., the domestic violence, sexual assault and human
