Santo Domingo. - The renowned Dominican artist Julieta Prissell announces the inauguration of her new individual exhibition on February 14, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., in the Imperial Hall of the Museum Abreu. The exhibition is presented at a key moment in her career, marked by a conceptual consolidation and sustained international projection.
After the close of 2025, Prissell begins the new year by deepening a stage of creative maturity supported by a rigorous artistic agenda, in which relevant exhibitions, institutional recognitions, and a contemporary dialogue between visual arts, identity, and culture converge. Their practice is distinguished by a constant investigation of the body, memory, and matter as symbolic territories.
During the summer of 2025, the artist presented Afro-Caribbean Connections at the UCNE Regional Theater in San Francisco de Macorís, within the framework of the Magazines Awards 2025. This exhibition reaffirmed a body of work centered on historical memory, cultural heritage, and the relationship between body, territory, and belonging, marking the beginning of a decisive international circulation for her career.

Subsequently, his work was exhibited in Berlin, Germany, one of the main epicenters of European contemporary art, with the exhibition My Tribute to Merengue, held under the auspices of the Dominican Embassy in Germany and RIMYA. The exhibition generated a significant response from the public and critics, activating a contemporary reading of merengue as a living archive of identity, rhythm, and collective memory. At the beginning of December 2025, Julieta Prissell was recognized as an international figure of Dominican art during the first edition of ART GABANGI, held at the Abreu Museum, where she presented a selection of recent works that demonstrate the conceptual and formal solidity of her artistic practice. Regarding this, Oscar Abreu, director of the Abreu Museum and founder of ART GABANGI, pointed out: "The work of Julieta Prissell represents a clear, coherent, and deeply contemporary voice within Dominican art. Her international growth is not circumstantial; it is the result of honest research, a critical look at identity, and an artistic discipline that endures over time." More recently, in the city of Chicago, Prissell participated in a cultural gathering held at Club LV, where the PRI-PRI mocktail was presented as a symbolic gesture of identity and celebration. In that context, the artist shared the stage with the renowned urban singer La Insuperable, in an evening that articulated music, visual arts, and contemporary feminine discourse. Spontaneously, Prissell gave one of her works to the artist, fostering an exchange around female strength, identity, and emotional expression. The public's response confirmed the value of these interdisciplinary convergences, strengthening the bonds of the Latin artistic community in Chicago and expanding the cultural reach of its proposal. Julieta Prissell's work has aroused sustained interest among curators, collectors, and specialized audiences. Her work is part of rigorous processes of reflection, plastic coherence, and symbolic construction, far from ephemeral trends. With his exhibition scheduled at the Abreu Museum for February 2026, this year is shaping up to be a stage of strategic expansion, new collaborations and a definitive consolidation within the international contemporary art circuit.
