Figurative art has taken center stage in Guatire with the opening of the second edition of the exhibition "From Guatire to the Moon."
For over a month, the Hugo Chávez Art and Culture Hall will be the meeting point for 25 talented artists presenting more than 100 works, in an exhibition that is generating a regional impact.
Wilderin García, a visual artist, illustrator, and professor, explained that this exhibition is a "fantasy" that uses the Moon as a metaphor for success.
"We imagine what it would be like if Guatire reached space, the Moon, as a metaphor for success," García said, highlighting the positive and futuristic vision that unites the creations.
A cultural hub
The exhibition has not only captured local interest but has also attracted visitors from various municipalities, including Valles del Tuy, Los Teques, and Guarenas, as well as students from various universities. The first edition drew nearly 3,000 people, and the event hopes to replicate or surpass that success this year.
The exhibition is an effort to transform Guatire into a true cultural center, promoting public awareness of the world of the arts.
The 25 participating artists each exhibit four original works, utilizing a wide variety of techniques, from traditional to digital, encompassing design, visual arts, and illustration.
"I invite you to come to the exhibition, to come and look at art in a different way, to look toward the future," García urged, emphasizing the positive future these artists capture in their work.
Free training and future projection
Within the framework of the exhibition, the initiative goes beyond the exhibition itself. Free illustration workshops are being offered to children and adolescents, allowing them to acquire basic artistic techniques.
This connects directly with the presence of art academies and universities with design and illustration areas in the area.
The success of "From Guatire to the Moon" is such that, according to García, formal invitations have already been received to take the exhibition to other municipalities, confirming its significance beyond the borders of Zamora.
The public will have more than a month to enjoy this collection, which promises to be a window into the future of Mirandino figurative art.
