OPENING RECEPTION
Saturday, March 14, 2026, 7–10 PM, 2606 Bataan Street, Dallas, TX
Opening this Saturday at Ro2 Art, Hanna Kratsman Robles’ third solo exhibition with the gallery considers love not as spectacle, but as practice — quiet, daily, and enduring. Through painting and text, Kratsman Robles turns toward the unseen labor embedded in domestic life: cleaning, crafting, cooking, mending, remembering. Not grand declarations, but the repeated acts through which devotion becomes visible.
These works move through interiors, objects, and imagined spaces charged with memory. Rooms hold tenderness. Fabrics retain touch. Language arrives like residue — spoken, overheard, or left behind.
Throughout the exhibition, magical realism is not embellishment, but a way of naming what resists easy language: inherited care, emotional weight, and the beauty of what is carried quietly. This is work attentive to what often goes unrecognized. To repetition. To upkeep. To the emotional architecture of home. To the fact that some of the most powerful expressions of love are also the easiest to overlook.
Join us Saturday night.

ABOUT HANNA KRATSMAN ROBLES

Hanna Kratsman Robles was born in Trujillo, Puerto Rico to a Puerto Rican mother and an Argentinian father. She moved to Dallas, Texas with her mother at the age of twelve and completed her BFA at the University of North Texas. She currently lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas with her husband David.
Kratsman Robles’ practice centers on intimate, close-cropped moments drawn from her quiet domestic life. Working in luminous color fields inspired by her Caribbean roots, she merges painting and poetry to create layered visual poems that explore memory, longing, and multicultural identity. Her process often begins with lived experience—light moving across a room, the presence of plants, fragments of thought—which she distills into compositions where text and color function as equal languages.
In 2024, she completed an artist residency in Argentina, deepening her connection to her paternal heritage and expanding her ongoing exploration of place and belonging. During the summer of 2025, Hanna founded the Come and Stay Awhile residency at Ro2 Art, an initiative designed to foster creative exchange and provide artists with time and space for focused studio practice. Labor of Love is Kratsman Robles third solo exhibition at Ro2 Art.
