“Transformation, the Moon, the Snake, and the Tree,” is a new body of work by Saúl Acevedo Gómez, created for the two-person exhibition “Living Rooms.” Through these pieces, Saúl explores personal transformation—spiritually, physically, and mentally—seeking to transcend limitation, perception, and imagination.

In “Recreating My Fundamentals Structure,” a figure inside a ribcage with the head of a snake forms the structure of the room. Each rib is inscribed with words like purpose, love, transformation, innovation, and imperfection, all held together by a spine labeled spirituality—the foundation guiding the artist’s journey.

“Dismembered Into a New Form” depicts a figure inspired by the Aztec sun god cutting a tree that turns into a snake. This act of Dismemberment reflects both liberation and rebirth, symbolizing how we adapt through physical changes—whether from pain, illness, or life events—emerging with new forms and identities.

In another piece, multiple versions of the same figure repeat throughout the scene—stretching, thinking, moving, and resting—surrounded by words like invisible, universe, soul, and joy. A painting at the center reveals the back of a canvas showing a fragmented tiger—the artist’s spiritual symbol of courage. This tiger represents the power of repeated action, the drive to overcome fear, and the commitment to growth and self-mastery.

Together, these works reflect transformation through discipline, spiritual connection, and conscious action, inviting viewers into an intimate space of personal evolution.
