Miami Dade College alumnus Diego Rua’s art exhibit, Glass Houses, is on display at Homestead Campus, 500 College Terrace, in the D building art space until March 17.
Glass Houses is a series of portrait paintings of fantastical beings in a monochromatic style, meaning they consist of only one hue of color.
Lucas Blanco, a Homestead Campus art professor, believes the paintings reflect an inner reality of uncertainty, felt by many, amidst a stressful election year and its aftermath.
“Artists have long brought forth the temper of the times into material form,” Blanco said. “This series of paintings strikes me as particularly poignant today.”
The exhibition is free and open to the public. However, an appointment is required to visit the gallery.
