In 'Pancakes for Dinner', Mariana Álvarez portrays a domestic scene where food preparation becomes an act of resistance and affection. The central figure, immersed in the kitchen, evokes the warmth of home and the importance of culinary traditions as a space for gathering.

The work combines layers of texture and color, with abstract backgrounds that dialogue with figuration, creating an atmosphere that invites reflection on everyday life and culture. The use of mixed media on wood adds a tactile dimension that reinforces the bond between art and matter.
