“Tiempo – Cycles”
Cosmos • Negative Zero • Healing
Works by V. Falcón Vázquez, Pedro World Citizen & Roberto Orán
March 16 – May 31, 2021
“Tiempo – Cycles” is the revelation of what time means for each of us. We believe it is a human construct that we all share and interpret differently according to our beliefs, cultures, calendars, seasons, history, and personal experiences. This project challenges us to reflect on the truth that what is true for you, might not be true for another.
We invite you in this experimental journey in which we aim to bridge the gap between different world-views via Music, Art, and Poetry. Our intention is one of creating a vision for healing, unity and new beginnings within our own perspective of “Tiempo – Cycles” for past, present and future generations.

About the Artists
V. Falcón Vázquez
HEALING
Woman, Mother, Artist, Activist, Healer
Falcón Vázquez is a contemporary poet shedding light on social, cultural and gender issues through the awareness of self. Integrating body, mind, and spirit she allows the audience to become aware of their own identities and realities in shifting the perspective that even though we go through our own stories, we are not alone. In her work she has created a fusion of different writing styles giving a unique life to each poem, challenging the norms of poetry and many times preferring to write in free verse, venturing out to experience an abstract truth.
By creating space for magical realism, healing verses, and raw emotions, Falcón Vázquez has discovered poetry as a medicine for the heart and soul.
Pedro World Citizen
NEGATIVE ZERO
Pedro identifies as a World Citizen in traveling to 34 countries, spanning 4 continents. In his journey he has managed to gather a broad perspective of differing and competing Global Belief Systems.
From an early age, Pedro experienced the world in a way that led him to have his own language and learned to use music as a way of communicating and expressing his emotions. He now shares and incorporates different continent world-views sharing our unity in coexistence through the power of music.
Currently, he is expanding his ongoing Thesis on Negative Zero and the idea that it can shape and influence our World Consciousness.
Roberto Orán
COSMOS
Roberto Orán was born in a small village in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. In early education, he was exposed to murals crafted by famous Mexican artists. This exposure inspired him to pursue the life of an artist. Over the years this has included experimentation with clay, luminescent paint, acrylic painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpting, and murals within abstract and realism.
Oran’s first masterpieces were never transcribed on paper or canvas, due to financial hardships, only in his imagination. These circumstances influenced him to organize projects to help provide art and education for low-income children. He currently continues opening doors for others and sharing the stage in showcasing world diversity.
Presently, Orán is exploring within the Cosmos of a new brush stroke technique, designing the Orán’s signature that transcends in color and light.
