Dear Fran,
Possibly the best thing that has happened to me in these last two years
has been to join the painting workshop. I am living a kind of second youth
that, unlike the first one, is providing me with experiences that I had never
imagined before. Already the fact of going once a week to Carlos's workshop and
being two and a half hours changing impressions and laughs — how little we
laughed when we were young! — with my classmates, time passes without realizing
it.
Today I am writing to you because I must
tell you that there has been a gallery in Seville that has made it possible for
an insignificant painting of mine to be hung alongside those of important
artists such as Curro González, Fernando Clemente, Concha Ybarra, Manolo Cuervo, Teresa Lafita and Curro Torres. And I know these painters because my teacher is in charge of talking about them and showing us their paintings in class by mobile.
It seems that it was a young art critic
named Guillermo Amaya who devised that for three days in a row, anyone who felt
the artistic vein, could be present with a work that could be hung and that was
not larger than 30 X 30 cm in the Zunino Gallery and there I went with my
proposal.
When I write this, it has been a week
since the exhibition opened and there are 195 works showing inquisitiveness,
sarcasm, reflection or tenderness. The dreams of its creators.
If
Guillermo conceived the project, it was Anabel, the gallery owner, who made her
space available to artists; a physical space that has been well balanced and
that is receiving many people interested in culture in general and plastic arts
in particular.
Fran, the exhibition was scheduled to be open until the 21st of this month, but due to the large turnout of visitors it will be extended until January 4th, and I encourage you to visit it, you who have it easy
living in Seville. Surely you will love how I loved it. You will tell me.
Y. a.
Mary
