Coherence Diagrams is the first solo exhibition by Spanish artist Ana Montiel at Parra & Romero in Madrid, Spain. Launching during the Apertura Madrid Gallery Weekend, the show serves as a central pillar of her broader Topologies of Existence project, which draws its name from the elusive Theory of Everything in physics. Visitors encounter an environment designed to question whether inner transformation can fundamentally alter the external reality we inhabit.

The presentation features a new series of large-scale paintings created using Montiel's signature spray-gun technique, alongside a central audiovisual work titled El yo en despliegue. These works function as open, provisional diagrams—visual maps of neuroplasticity and synaptic change. The paintings are organized as panoramic compositions, utilizing rhythms and color shifts to represent moments of transition between different configurations of the self and perception.

What makes this exhibition distinctive is its rigorous dialogue between contemporary neuroscience, Taoist philosophy, and quantum biology. By treating the canvas as a field of inquiry rather than a finished product, Montiel moves beyond traditional abstraction to explore how the act of looking transforms the world. It is a rewarding visit for those interested in the intersection of science and art, offering a rare look at the artist's research into consciousness within a minimal, conceptual framework.

A focused, intellectually stimulating stop for visitors interested in the intersection of neuroscience and contemporary abstraction, perfectly timed for Madrid’s autumn gallery season.

The gallery is located in the Salamanca district and is open Monday to Friday from 10:30 to 19:30, and Saturdays from 11:00 to 14:00. Admission is free, though the opening night on September 10 features extended hours until 22:00 as part of the Apertura weekend festivities.
