C2 - Carnival

About the "Carnival" collection

Let yourself be enveloped by the rhythm, color, and history of one of the world's most iconic carnivals through the eyes of Facundo Fierro.

Between 1988 and 1991, the artist captured the carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in a collection that toured galleries and museums in Europe, from the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Tenerife to the Musée CUM in Nice and the Maison de l'Amérique Latine in Monaco, even earning her the Gold Medal from the City of Nice for her artistic contribution.

The pieces capture the cultural bridge forged between Tenerife and the French Riviera, with comparsas exploding with salsa and batucada music alongside masks and floats inspired by the elegance of Nice. This exchange gave rise to works such as "Carnavals Nice–Tenerife," now part of the collection of the Musée CUM in Nice.
