ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
In this series, artist Carla Caletti continues her practice of creating work from her inner world. Informed by memories, ancestral connections, and daily walks along the river, she weaves fragments from the past into the present as abstract figurative narratives. The resurrection of these once veiled elements leads to new forms and associations, each existing within a similar yet unique setting and language. It is in this space that Caletti's abstract figurative works come together to create a personal mythology rooted in safety, protection, care, hope, love, and prayers for the world at large. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Carla Caletti is a self-taught artist originally from Sonoma County, California. She works primarily in painting and sculpture, using mixed media in her abstract figurative works. While living in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she resided for over 30 years, she began making trips to New Mexico starting in 1985, traveling in her 1968 Volvo named Lilian. Just before the COVID pandemic, she relocated to New Mexico and is currently based in Santa Fe. Caletti has exhibited her work in both commercial and nonprofit galleries. She has created pop-up exhibits, produced street art, managed her own art gallery, and curated group exhibitions, including One World, Many Faiths: Altars by Bay Area Women Artists. For seventeen years, she participated as a Día de los Muertos installation artist at the SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco. Caletti had her first solo exhibition in Santa Fe in 2024 at Strata Gallery. Her second solo exhibition opens in February 2025 at El Zaguán.
