Since the Renaissance, art has understood how the representation of the gaze can be a mirror of the soul. Thus, it has become a fundamental symbolic element in modern and contemporary art, showing the way of seeing the world of the artist who paints them.

For some artists, the absence of the eyes can speak more than its presence. In this powerful gesture of emptying the face of the gaze, the artist realizes the impossibility of confronting reality. ‘Everywhere I look I see your eyes’ presents a selection of works that, representing or eluding the eyes, explores how the gaze is key to understanding contemporary art.
