The approach and representation of such a historical and iconic character as Emiliano Zapata is a challenge in itself and a proclamation of freedom, as well as the freedom to be and exist that defines and governs the work and life of Arnaldo Coen.

Perpetual Present is an epic of the revolutionary Zapata that takes place in different scenarios from the usual ones. In a series of forty-four collages we find historical and artistic references fused by the perpetual figure of the Caudillo del Sur.

The exhibition made up of twelve of the forty-four works in the Perpetual Present series shows how infinite it can become, an icon in the history of a culture. Emiliano Zapata shares the stage with various elements and characters, providing temporal and environmental continuity in his iconic figure and character.
