So grateful to all who showed up to help clean our local beach Playa Tia Micaela, last Sunday morning – you guys are the best!
In less than 2 hours, 10 incredible humans collected 82 kilos of trash out of the dunes and 15 kilos of it was recyclable – AMAZING!
This was one small part of a statewide cleanup day, to see results from around the state of Baja Sur, check out the instagram feeds of @cleanup_bcs and our local org Cero Basura @cerobasura_bcs

About the Artist:
Kerch is a contemporary landscape artist whose practice operates at the intersection of phenomenological observation and lyrical abstraction. Born in Mexico, he holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Miami and a Master’s degree from the Pratt Institute in New York. Educated in the United States and Europe, his life and work have unfolded between Europe and the Americas. He currently works between Baja California Sur, Mexico, and the Canary Islands, Spain. Kerch has developed a visual language that moves beyond geographic representation to express lived experience in nature.
With a career spanning more than three decades across Europe and the Americas, Kerch has established a strong international presence. In the United Kingdom, his European recognition was confirmed through selection for the Threadneedle Prize for Painting & Sculpture in London, organized by the Federation of British Artists and supported by the Saatchi Gallery.
He has participated in major international fair and museum circuits such as Context Art Miami (USA), BARCU (Colombia), and FIA (Venezuela). His work has been exhibited in institutions including museums of the Government of the Canary Islands, the Cabrera Pinto Institute, the Exhibition Hall of the Government of the Canary Islands (Spain), the Centro Cultural de España en México, the Centro de Arte de Sintra (Portugal), Fundación Caixa, Fundación Rucandio, as well as private and institutional collections.
About the Art:
Landscapes in Liquid Modernity
We inhabit an era defined by contemporary philosophers as “liquid times,” a state where solid structures—certainties, borders, and fixed points—vanish to give way to transience and constant flux.
In this context, Luis Kerch’s work emerges as a visual testament to this liquidity, where the landscape is not presented as a static entity, but as matter that blurs and transforms before our eyes. For Kerch, the canvas is not a rigid map, but a container of meditative glazes that function like water: they shape the environment, but never settle into a definitive form. By destroying the image to activate the imagination, the artist embraces the aesthetics of liquid modernity. His paintings are “direct expressions of the inner state,” capturing a world where identity and perception are volatile and slip through our fingers like water itself. In his works, light is the driving force that dissolves boundaries. Kerch constantly repositions his canvas, freeing the scene from a fixed light source. This technical gesture reflects the uncertainty of our era: a play between the ephemeral and that which remains only long enough to be captured. His paintings inhabit a borderless threshold, a perfect metaphor for a society where spaces of belonging are increasingly blurred.
To contemplate the work of Luis Kerch is to immerse oneself in a “sonata toward light” that questions our own reality. It is the art of the ineffable in times when all that is solid vanishes, reminding us that, in this liquid world, the only way to capture beauty is by letting ourselves be carried away by the current of poetic perception.

About the Artist:
Steven discovered ceramics almost by accident, taking a summer pottery class with his mother while home from college in North Carolina. He was lucky enough to work for four years under well-known Japanese ceramic artist Hiroshi Sueyoshi; acquiring an attention to aesthetic detail and craftsmanship that guides his work to this day. He went on to study and assist at a variety of schools and studios where he learned a broad range of traditional and cutting-edge techniques.
Steven founded Barro Sur Studio in 2020, providing the Todos Santos community with its premier location for ceramic classes, artist workspace, ceramic supplies and a fully equipped studio with which to follow his own artistic path in clay. He loves creating ceramic sculpture and truly enjoys creating functional art and vessels for the home.
About the Art:
Presented as a series of hand-built ceramic forms, “sed/thirst” unfolds as a fragmented hydrological landscape inspired by springs, wells, arroyos, reservoirs, rain, and subterranean aquifers. Each piece reflects a different state of water in our desert environment —contained, pure, stagnant, evaporated, filtered, seasonal, flowing, abundant, withheld.
The installation functions as a quiet commentary on water scarcity inviting viewers to reflect on the human impulse to capture, control, and commodify what is necessarily fluid and cyclical. The pieces suggest that the precious water that lies beneath the surface is not infinite, depth does not guarantee abundance. Our thirst remains. Thirst, here, is both a warning and an invitation: a call to reconsider how we draw from what cannot be replaced, or if we should take at all.

About the Artist:
Originally from La Paz, Baja California Sur, she is an industrial designer who approaches ceramics with enthusiasm and authenticity. With over five years of experience exploring materials and processes, she leads projects at Barro Sur. Her approach blends technique, intuition, and curiosity, bringing to life pieces that seek to convey comfort, emotion, and a connection with the user.
About the Art:
‘Defenders’ is inspired by the sea urchin: an ancient creature that marks boundaries without threatening. Nine conical sculptures combine earth and fire to speak of fragility, strength, and respect for coastal ecosystems and our responsibility to care for them. Their modular nature invites interaction and observation of each piece as a gesture of coexistence with the sea.
