SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 29. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Parliament of the Canary Islands inaugurated this Tuesday the exhibition ‘Miradas de mujer’, the other artistic face of Carlos González, which consists of 50 paintings made in acrylic on canvas
At the event, the president of the Chamber, Gustavo Matos, highlighted the personality of this pictorial work. “The eye that Carlos has been fine-tuning in his career as a photographer is reflected here, in another artistic modality, in this beautiful exhibition that shows that he is passionate about art in all its manifestations,” he said.
Carlos González fully immerses himself in painting with confinement. Women and their looks are the protagonists. “I start with the eyes and when I get them to look at me, I go around the face until I finish it. These paintings are a sample of the painting that inspires me and that I admire. In them I wanted to capture all the strength, sadness, joy or the serenity that a woman’s gaze can convey,” he explained.
This first pictorial exhibition by Carlos González will remain open in the Parliament of the Canary Islands until April 8, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and Saturday mornings.
The exhibition is part of the agenda with which the Parliament of the Canary Islands wants to commemorate its 40th anniversary, four decades in which the role of women has been indisputable. On the other hand, the Parliament continues to bet, in this tenth legislature, on going beyond its legislative activity and control of the Government to become an open space, a forum for dialogue, reflection and debate, a center for the culture of islands and, above all, a place close to Canarian society.
