Julio Padrón, with his oil paintings dedicated to the sea, the Ucanca Valley and Teide. Miguel González, with watercolors where he shows Canarian patios and spring roses, always with careful color treatment.
Cristóbal Garrido ‘Toba’ is another vocational watercolorist, who in the words of Castro San Luis “presents a work where light and color form beautiful fittings of old doors or still lifes, where the fruit seems to come out of the picture.”
Chari Duque is in love with the island of La Graciosa, who “with her brush has described it to us in its seascapes of turquoise blue waters, which contrast with the yellow sands, producing beautiful polychromes,” says Joaquín Castro.
Gonzalo Cabrera “is the violin virtuoso, who when he paints surely hears some notes of the classics that lead him to leave sailboats with unknown directions captured on the supports, with the color and smell of the Canary beaches. Landscape watercolors from his island of La Palma,” he points out.
“Vicente Blanco has lived for the palm culture. He has been a researcher and student of fretwork, as well as a designer of typical tablecloths from his island. This sensitivity has united her with painting, which is why his watercolors are colorful, cheerful and colorful,” she comments on another of the painters in this collective exhibition.
About 30 medium format paintings will be exhibited. A work by the painter Siro Manuel, now deceased, has been chosen for the exhibition poster. With this gesture, the five painters who exhibit in ‘Fragments of our environment’ wanted to pay tribute to him.
