Love, Sacrifice, and Artistry Merge in "Sacrifice"!
Contemporary artist Gabriel Delgado's life took a profound turn when he selflessly donated a kidney to his beloved wife, Melissa, igniting a wellspring of artistic inspiration. Their extraordinary 17-year journey together is the heart of his latest series, "Sacrifice," which will debut at Art Miami with Burgess Modern + Contemporary this December.
Their story reads like a modern-day fairy tale: Gabriel's perfect match for Melissa's kidney transplant, thanks to the Memorial Transplant Institute's support, rekindled hope and inspired a new artistic chapter with his signature mathematical equation and text based contemporary and conceptual art.
Influenced deeply by their shared journey through the unexpected adversity of Melissa's Stage 4 renal failure diagnosis, their bond transcended conventional roles. Gabriel's art encapsulates their unbreakable connection, a testament to love, resilience, and the transformative power of profound relationships.
Join us for a special reception on Saturday, December 9, 2023, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at the Art Miami 2023 booth of Burgess Modern + Contemporary. In attendance will be members of the Memorial Transplant Institute's Surgical Team and associates, along with representatives from The National Kidney Donation Organization.
This unique program, set amidst the bustling art fair, aims to raise awareness for Living Donor Transplants and highlight the remarkable work of the Memorial Transplant Institute in Hollywood, Florida, and its programming affiliates, such as the National Kidney Registry (NKR) and The National Kidney Donation Organization (NKDO).
A portion of proceeds from artwork sales will be donated to The Memorial Transplant Institute in Hollywood, FL, and The National Kidney Donation Organization (NKDO) in honor of their tireless work.
