Artists’ Statement
From the Outside In blurs the lines between body, mind, and the universe, inviting viewers into a world of reality and fiction. Through oil paintings and mixed media objects, Lisa Guevara and Sydney Guzman reflect inner turmoil, navigating between interior and exterior spaces. Curious cats, vibrant colors, playful patterns, and watchful eyes animate the room. The exhibition space is an active collaborator—grounded in the domestic yet open to unpredictability.
