Among the standout proposals was the participation of Mexican artist Karla de Lara, who presented her work at Art of the World Gallery’s booth AM112.
An artist without borders
Karla de Lara, recognized as the mother of “hyperrealistic pop” is known for her unique style that merges hyperrealism with elements of pop art. Her distinctive high-gloss technique and mastery of light and atmosphere have allowed her to create works that are both detailed and emotionally evocative. With over 450 solo exhibitions in 40 countries, her art has been internationally acclaimed and is part of the exclusive collection of the National Museum of History at Chapultepec Castle.
A space for innovation

At ZonaMACO 2025, the gallery presented a selection of her most iconic pieces, offering visitors an immersion into the vibrant and emotionally charged worlds the artist captures on her canvases.
Karla de Lara’s presence at ZonaMACO 2025 reaffirms her position as one of the most relevant artists in the international contemporary art scene.
