Around 50 pieces created by students and graduates of the technical career in Fine Arts of the Municipal Center of Arts, give shape, light and color to the exhibitions “Singularity” and “Contrasentido” that will remain open to the public at the Ángela Peralta Gallery until Friday, July 28th, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Free admission.
Paintings (acrylic, oil and watercolor), drawings, engravings, sculptures (clay modeling) and works with Chinese ink and ink water and book art, make up the interesting exhibition that allows us to take a look at the worldview of the new values of Sinaloan fine art.
Both exhibitions were inaugurated in the presence of students, graduates, teachers, relatives and friends of the authors of the pieces during an emotional closing of the 2022-2023 school year.
Mónica Rice, coordinator of the CMA School of Fine Arts, presented the teachers responsible for promoting the development of students and graduates of the School of Fine Arts: Luis Ángel Leyva Sánchez, Miguel Flores, Cecilia García, Aurora Acosta Osuna, Juan Carlos Valdivia, Luis Ornelas, Ignacio Osuna, Naibi Domínguez, Roberto González Figueroa and Wilfrido Reyes Osuna.
At the ceremony, the Educational Director of the CMA, Liliana Aréchiga, congratulated and on behalf of the Instituto Municipal de Cultura, Turismo y Arte de Mazatlán, awarded recognition to the young people: Jesús Abraham López Ibarra, Aaron Oswaldo Cortez Flores and Brando Max Sánchez Suastegui, who responded to their last roll call after having finished the technical career in Fine Arts.
Young Jesús Abraham López Ibarra received recognition for artistic merit, who expressed words of gratitude especially for his grandmother.
“Contrasentido” draws on the work of the students: Elvis Chacón González, Evangelina Gómez López, Ingrit Ríos Márquez, Juliana Fuentevilla, Kathia Espinoza, María de la Luz González Anaya, Ninochkat Uriarte Enciso, Renata Guízar Rendón, Rofelda González Anaya, Sabrina Cruz Mondragón, Tamara Galeana Olmos, Ximena Sinead Astorga Chávez, Ehimy Carolina González Godínez, Karely Colio De Haro and Melissa Gómez Brito.
About the experience while passing through the CMA Fine Arts Career, the graduates share:
Abraham Ibarra: I arrived when the classes were online, it was difficult and I had to adapt, over time I met more people and it was a liberating process, here was a place where I could vent because I took out all my frustration, all my anger.
The themes to be dealt with in my pieces are basically depression and loneliness, I was inspired not only by my life, but by my grandmother’s life, because the time we left each other was painful, I was left alone and she developed cancer… having to leave her was very difficult.
I aspire to be better than yesterday, it’s the only thing I want, to have to tell my family, Hey, I did it! I was able to improve every day. I want to continue with this, it’s very cool because not only do you connect in the work, but a connection is generated with more people, it’s like a network, and ties are being created with more artists.
Those who decide to study Fine Arts are going to face a lot of rejection, but I ask you not to give up even if it is difficult, follow your dreams.
Oswaldo Flores: (Studying Fine Arts) It has been one of the most wonderful things in my life. As my career progressed I discovered more of my talents in the area of painting and drawing and a part of clay and stone carving.
I like a golden eagle from my work, I had drawn it before beginning my career and for me it is an emblem of our country and I have always liked that majestic bird with its penetrating gaze.
