REM Pedro Lombardía de Lillo 15.05 - 30.06.2025

REM , Pedro Lombardía de Lillo 's (El Entrego, 1961) first exhibition at the Lucía Dueñas Gallery seeks to introduce the viewer to the events and images depicted in his dreams. For Lombardía, any night's sleep can be pleasurable, disturbing, or mysterious.

Each of the works in this exhibition is created from that ambiguous, abstract experience, full of sensations, sounds, and shapes that occur while dreaming.

REM (Rapid Eye Movement) is the phase of sleep in which we dream most intensely.

This title is a continuation of my previous exhibition, ONEIRIC , in which I made then and make now, a journey through my dreams, through those unreal but recognizable landscapes, through those ambiguous images that I see in dreams, through those objects and sensations that I do not control but that I make my own every time I immerse myself in that infinite universe.

This exhibition incorporates new works in a smaller format that tell us details or fragments of a hypothetical larger dream, but they still reflect the atmosphere and setting in which dreams—my dreams—happen.

I would like to provoke curiosity in the viewer, even the need to stop and observe what is happening in their own dream universe.

Pedro Lombardía de Lillo

"Graphic designer, teacher, artistic director in film, a creator in short, Pedro Lombardía is above all a curious, restless man. He graduated from the Oviedo School of Art like so many others of his generation, and in his quest he turned to formal history studies, because he wanted to know more about what occupied his mind, his hands, his time. He exhibited, and still exhibits, in so many places. Award-winning in so many others. Lombardía's work is treasured in public and private collections: town halls, banks, museums, official institutions."
