Eufloria: Floral Splendor in the Kaluz Collection brings together the most outstanding floral representations from the museum's collection, featuring more than fifty works by Mexican and international artists spanning three centuries. This vibrant and luminous exhibition captures the blossoming and effervescent energy of nature. The term eufloria—coined to describe a state of exaltation and joy inspired by harmonious encounters with flower-filled spaces—showcases a new perspective on the Kaluz Collection, one that resonates with contemporary ecological concerns. The presence of flowers in these works invites reflection on artistic traditions and dominant aesthetics. Preconceptions—such as the association of flowers exclusively with femininity or the anthropocentric belief that places humans at the center of the natural world—have historically shaped and restricted engagement with floral culture. At a time when natural resources are relentlessly extracted and the plant world is often undervalued and exploited, this exhibition fosters a renewed connection with flowers. Far more than ornamental motifs in art, they are recognized for their deeper significance: their essential role in global ecological balance, their influence on human creativity, and their enduring symbolism in the representation of life. The exhibition is part of the Botanical Visions curatorial program, which seeks to promote ecological awareness by rekindling an appreciation for plants and their meaning in art.
