Questioning the limits between the natural and the cultural
Ensayo para un autorretrato, 2017–2022
Curatorial text
In a process of great formal heterogeneity where each work follows its own unique and precise course, it is nevertheless possible to find a constant in the work of María Elvira Escallón: the questioning of the limits between the natural and the cultural.José Roca — Columna de Arena 53, 2003

A new version of Polvo eres installed in the Coltabaco Building. A large space covered with debris from the building's own demolished walls, where small pioneer plants emerge as if something insisted on resurfacing.
