Intentaron llegar al Cielo
Pedro Peralta Duarte
Uruguayan master Pedro Peralta (b. 1961. Salto, Uruguay) merges history and myth through a sophisticated blend of painting and engraving techniques. His work often features architectural icons and symbolic landscapes, inviting a profound reflection on cultural memory and the enduring power of human creation.
In Intentaron llegar al Cielo, Pedro Peralta Duarte stages a Babel tower within a painted room of its own. Two dark walls converge toward a canvas-like window, framing a tiered structure that recalls Montevideo's Palacio Salvo as much as the biblical myth. Above, a small round opening reveals a single cloud, a quiet punctuation mark in the composition. Rendered with the same engraver's precision that defines his practice, Peralta turns architectural ambition into a picture within a picture, asking where the built world ends and the painted one begins.
