Art is always present in everything and it is inevitable for me not to see that beauty in every step I take. The Christmas season is over and the art galleries are renewed, new opportunities to see and display wonders.
While I still have many photographs of walks I have taken during the glittering season, the lights, the Christmas trees and the beautifully decorated streets, I looked through the many folders I have on my computer and the art called out to me.
I usually go to an art show, then organise the photos on my phone into folders with the name of the shows and then move them to my hard drive. Looking here and there I realise that I have many exhibitions that I went to before December but because of the holidays were left dormant and waiting for their time to show off.

La senda, 2025, Emiliano Téllez - Digital colour photography.
This art exhibition was held from 6 November to 5 December at the Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Málaga, where the entrance is always free of charge. Once a month I stop by to see what's new and it's always wonderful. Their exhibitions catch the eye and in this case it was a very unique and beautiful photography exhibition. ‘Latentes’ is the name they gave it and it is powerful.
I was able to enjoy a lot of variety and style of photography in this show, where each one of them had an interesting detail.
Panta Rhei, 2024, Africa Estrada - B/W digital photography on paper and acetate.
Fermento, 2025, Ainara Battanco - Digital colour photography.
Liquid Life, 2025, Ana Prado - Digital colour photography on paper on dibond.
Vacuo, 2025, Mery Erre - Digital colour photography.
On one of the walls of the place there was a little explanation about the name and the subjects treated and what the latent image refers to: to that which exists but cannot be, therein lies the complexity of the subject, but also its simplicity. It is something in potential, that can be, that can exist and be seen through a revealing fact. This is what brings this latency to light, it manifests itself.
All the photographs belong to students of the Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño de San Telmo. The latent image is interesting and attractive, a different, magical experience.

The artistic quality of all the photographs was admirable, the poses that the models were in, the quality of the materials used, everything was perfect and it seemed to be suddenly in a fantasy photography session, in others in an ancient time, in others inside a painting of some famous painter and then in other opportunities experimenting with photography on flowers and their movements.
The black and white photographs were spectacular in their contrast and brightness and the ones in colour the separation with the dark background made them very beautiful. Of course if you have a favourite or more than one I would love to hear about it in the comments.
In my case the session of three photos called ‘Vacuum’ I found very interesting, pictures of places at night, maybe because I often take those pictures too, I felt identified.
A spectacular show, with a lot of variety and quality. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much for joining me today, I wish you a very good Sunday. See you soon.
Amonet.
All photographs are my own.
