This painting reimagines The Turkish Bath (Le Bain turc) by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1852–1859). In this interpretation, Lluís Barba introduces contemporary celebrity figures, creating a dialogue between classical art history and modern popular culture. The circular composition of reclining women in a harem bath reflects 19th-century European fascination with imagined cultures of the Near East.

A Spectacular Showcase of Contemporary Art & the Introduction of New Voices
ALDO CASTILLO, BOOTH F02
The Aldo Castillo Gallery is pleased to announce its participation in Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary — South Florida’s premier winter art fair showcasing world-class modern and contemporary art from leading international galleries. At the fair, the gallery will present a captivating exhibition featuring works by Augusto Esquivel, Javier Guadalupe, Ancizar Marin, Metis Atash, Apostol, Lluis Barba, Troy Abbott, Hugo Diaz, Paul Joseph White, Ben Abounassif, Clarita Brinkerhoff, Uaio Antor, Enrique Machado and Latchezar Boyadjiev — all celebrated for their innovative use of unconventional materials.
Aldo Castillo Gallery proudly presents Ben Abounassif, celebrating his forthcoming solo retrospective at the Museo de Bellas Artes, Caracas, opening November 2026. Abounassif’s perceptual works engage viewers through light, movement, and abstract geometry, offering dynamic visual experiences that shift with perspective.
Also featured are glass artist Latchezar Boyadjiev, whose sculptural glass works explore form and luminosity, and pop artist Paul Joseph White, whose mixed‑media works investigate luxury, branding, and modern identity.
Throughout the fair, Aldo Castillo Gallery activates the common areas with striking metal installations by Carolina Sardi. Renowned for her stainless steel wall and freestanding works, Sardi’s intervention turns the gallery’s presence into a bold architectural statement.
A major highlight is the large‑scale Punk Buddha by Metis Atash, inspired by Coco Chanel and adorned with more than 140,000 Swarovski crystals — an iconic fusion of fashion, spirituality, and contemporary glamour.

Carolina Sardi Artist Statement
My work explores geometric abstraction through linear structures in steel, sometimes enhanced with patina or color. These forms are arranged in nonrepresentational space to engage with surrounding architecture and emphasize spatial relationships. Rooted in clarity, balance, and precision, the compositions evoke a quiet sense of calm and contemplation, aligning the work with the constructive and concrete traditions of abstraction.
