"The Color of Light"

The Color of Light explores the encounter between a young artist, Esteban Fuentes de María, and the legacy of the iconic architect Luis Barragán, renowned for his mastery of color and light. Guided by the caretakers of Barragán's houses, Esteban embarks on a journey from the architect's last masterpiece, Casa Gilardi, to his first creation: the enigmatic Casa Ortega, where Verónica, the current owner, awaits him. Esteban discovers that Barragán's true art lies not in what is seen, but in how one learns to see. Through this process, the essence of color, light, and space intertwine in a profound dialogue that challenges artistic conventions, and Esteban must learn to perceive what Barragán saw in his works, beyond the tangible.
