“To make mistakes is to live, and to live is to create.”
With this quote by sculptor Mario Ceroli resonating in the mind of Katia Contreras, editorial director of AD, comes the May 2025 issue: a special edition dedicated to those who understand that art is also born of risk, error, and contemplation.
On this occasion, the cover has been created by multidisciplinary artist Eduardo Sarabia (Los Angeles, 1976), whose practice spans painting, photography, and ceramics. Between the memory of his neighborhood in Los Angeles, the echoes of Mazatlán, and the vibrant energy of Guadalajara, Sarabia has built a deeply personal universe—one where identity is not defined, but lived.
His work Hoja Elegante (2021), a dense and atmospheric oil on linen, serves as an open door into an emotional, cultural, and symbolic territory. This cover is also an invitation to slow down, to lose oneself in order to be found again.
