Impossible to define this great artist!  She is the embodiment of wonderful qualities: talent, sensibility, expression, depth…all of this supported by years of study and dedication, always seeking for perfection.  Her work is unique and transcends time-space.

Her paintings are poems and her poems become masterpieces.  We are always surprised by our artist, Zábeliz, Ma. Carmen Zabaleta Elizondo.

In May we showed you her creation:  Sinestesia - Art for the Visually Impaired.  This exhibition has already been in several cities in Mexico and it is about to leave for Europe, starting in Madrid, Spain.  There is no doubt that where there is talent, any endeavor becomes a success.

We have recently and by chance seen her photographic art.  We are in the process of convincing her to let us share it with you.  We know you will enjoy viewing a small part of her work.

Zábeliz, welcome again to Proudly Hispanic!

The Universidad Iberoamericana campus Puebla is showing a sample of the work of Contemporary artist Felipe de la Torre, who has profound feelings deeply rooted in this chaotic time and age, called “Disasters in Peace”; and offering as well  a conference and workshop for the benefit of Art, Design and Architecture alumni.

“These series of oil-on-canvas drawings began to build up a little over five years ago.  The purpose:  to be timeless…,  I do not know how much tome, maybe a long time, and at the same it can have and has begun many millenium ago; before, now, after, for many…      

Supported by the work of Goya, The Whims, The Disasters of War…, evidently of free interpretation, there is the proposal to continue mercilrss the visual exercise, rooted necessarily in the conscience that allows us to look at ourselves in the midst of this hypocritical peace barely disguised, collectively and individually.  To be critically active in our daily routine, to provoke a shared reflection, to incite ourselves to stop, actively and passively, the state of things in which we are immersed, at least unbalanced in all senses”.  Felipe de la Torre  - Sept. 2008

His work has arguments, composition and leaves a deep imprint in everyone who observes it.  His understanding of the artistic language is aesthetic and politically argumentative as well as completely real within its subjectivity.    

Well known artist and former Head of the Art, Design and Architecture Department, Juan Valderrama, was also a part of the panel.  His conference, supported by photographs of his work and the work of other artists, deserves a space of its own because of its excellence.  We will be sharing it with you in the near future.

And last, but not least, the work of Professor Xavier Recio Oviedo has enriched the alumni with the many distinguished professionals he has persuaded to, not only show their work, but who share their experience in interesting workshops. 

Fernando Alonso from Asturias, Spain has won again, this time in Japan, during the 15th Grand Prix race of the season.

Two weeks after winning the Grand Prix of Singapore and driving his R28, Fernando Alonso has justified the support and confidence shown him by the mechanics, engineers and all personnel of the Renault team, by climbing again the winners podium after his victory in the Fuji Speedway in Japan.

Congratulations!

Always trying new techniques, Eugenio Ortiz, has surprised us again with his latest creation, a fresco which is filled with symbolisms.  In the interview we just taped, the artist himself describes them in detail and we are delighted to share it with you.

Eugenio,  despite his youth, is a well known talent in the world of fine arts.  For years  his work has been shown in several museums and art galeries and is one of the most sought out painters, not only in his native Puebla, Mexico, but also abroad.

We invite you to visit our Gallery with some of his best known paintings.

Eugenio, we are proud to have you as our Artist of the month!
