Honys Torres — Luisa Palacios Graphic Arts Award

Gratitude to the audience of the Elsa Morales National Art Salon 2025

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who visited the Elsa Morales National Art Salon 2025, an edition that has just come to a close and that I will carry with me for its strength, its diversity, and the remarkable artistic quality it brought together. Being part of this salon was already an honor; receiving the Luisa Palacios Graphic Arts Award was an immense joy and a recognition I accept with gratitude and responsibility.

To all those who walked through the exhibition halls, paused in front of my work, asked questions, shared comments, smiled, or simply allowed themselves to be moved by what they saw: thank you. Art is completed in the gaze of the viewer, and each of those gazes gave new life to my piece “Crónica de la Piedad Reloaded”, presented in this edition.

This award not only celebrates a single artwork; it celebrates a path, a research process, and a practice that I continue to build with dedication and affection. Thank you for accompanying me, for looking, for feeling, and for making this moment so meaningful.

With gratitude, Honys Torres
