The first works of art in ink by his self- taught artist ,born in Sant Gregori,in the province of Girona in 1965, were already to be found on show in some group exhibitions in the city of Barcelona in 1982, but since 1987 he has continuously been working and exhibiting his works in several  countries.

After beginning  to work with ink, and thereafter with oil ,since 1989 he has used exclusively acrylic pigments , tempera  colours  and natural earth pigments ,without ever abandoning ink for his preliminary studies. He is gifted with a style in constant evolution , already remarkable  in his first paintings dating back to his time in the island of Menorca from 1987 to 1989. Afterwards he moved to Italy, first to Rome to collaborate in the multi-media performance “In Casa Nostra” and then to Florence for several projects.

At the end of 1991 he left Florence and after a short period in Barcelona, he moved to New Zeland. He lived and worked in this country for the next five years, realizing several exhibitions and private commissions .In the same period he created the artistic company “La Ray” in collaboration with the contemporary dancer Raewyn  Hill, inaugurating a personal solo exhibition in his art café “Vesuvio” entitled ”The last Exhibition”, which turned out to be a memorable artistic festival with the participation of renowned artists of the country. He left New Zeland in 1997. He continued to travel , first to Barcelona and then to Florence holding exhibitions in each city, including one of his ink works in the prestigious old Florentine “Focardi” library.  In 1998 he left  Florence and moved to San Gimignano, in the province  of Sienna were he currently lives and works.

Through time, his artistic research has led him to a progressive isolation from contemporary influence and tends, concentrating more on his inner being rather than being conditioned by commercial success, with the  aim of obtaining an expression which respects and defends the beauty of forms without ignoring the diversity of styles,modernity, experimentation and innovation.

Evelyne Boren (a native of Munich, Germany) enjoys worldwide recognition for her impressionistic art interpretations of life, people and scenes of the Southwest, México and Europe in watercolor and oil paintings. Evelyne’s life reads like an adventure story – from the time she attended school in Switzerland and England, to her move to the United States in 1958 and her stunt work in movies.

Before beginning her full-time professional career as an artist, Evelyne had an aquatic career that included underwater stunt doubling in the James Bond films Thunderball and You Only Live Twice. She was the first woman in the world to swim with a killer whale in the movie Namu the Killer Whale. She appeared on the television programs What’s My Line and To Tell The Truth, where no one guessed her profession. She also appeared frequently in the television series Sea Hunt, Aquanauts and Flipper, where she helped train the star dolphin.

From these adventures she turned to painting in 1962, while on location filming in the Bahamas. The breathtaking color and beauty of the islands stirred a deep desire within Evelyne to express her feelings on canvas, so she began to paint. Her enthusiasm, drive and discipline have resulted in a very successful art career. Evelyne has studied with several important artists, but has developed a style that is strictly her own.

In 1990, in Roussillon, France, she entered a competition for paintings that used only burnt sienna, raw sienna and yellow ocher pigments that are mined locally. The only foreigner, she won first prize over forty French artists. In 1997, Evelyne had the honor of having one of her paintings selected for the official Santa Fe Opera Poster. She has more then 4,000 original paintings in private and corporate collections around the world.

Evelyne maintains a permanent studio in Santa Fe, New México, and in Sayulita, México.

ESPECTACULARES.
Masks fulfill various functions; in Classic Theatre they were used to design and at the same time present the character that each actor represented…
In the Prehispanic world they symbolized the incarnation of strength of a powerful animal in men. Masks as in the dances of the Renaissance hide us from the rest allowing us to be silent spectators, viewers of what goes on around us, becoming invisible voyeurs of the world. As a collective phenomenon they don’t erase our Self, more than neutralize us, allow us to become somebody else, a sort of multiple- character that represents different roles.
Masks define us: we become though our relations with others –with ourselves, and these thanks to the Masks.

In the series of paintings that that comprise the Exhibition “ Espectacular Máscara contra Máscara” Manuel Garcia invites us to see ourselves though the clear sight that others have of us , the representation of daily life, play , family ,music, or art itself make that each of the characters on his painting become a white canvas.
This exhibition invites us to see ourselves though a looking glass , the clearness and simplicity of each painting ;the realistic technique and transparency the “Kitch “ aesthetics which far from simplifying our approach, forces us to make a second attentive close up which ends up striping us taking us inside ourselves.
For the spectator ,such an introspection becomes a sort of “mise en abime” a game a mirror from the observer and the paint that multiplies the lectures from an apparent pictorial simplicity and at the same time shows us all the diverse selfs we can become exposing us to our daily masks.

The show in which we participate in the exhibition is that of ourselves, of our daily life, it can be among the simple or the inevitable it can become using masks to find our own voice , or to recompose our image.

Nacida en Puebla, México. el 28 de octubre de 1986.

Soy hija menor de 4 hermanas, desde corta edad me interesé por la pintura y las manualidades de arte objeto. En la escuela primaria gané un premio en un concurso estatal interescolar con la temática del niño y la mar. En la escuela secundaria tomé curso de taller de arte, con el impulso de mi profesor, me presenté a un concurso interno de la escuela, ganando el primer lugar. Seguí pintando en mis ratos libres de la escuela, y también aprendiendo a coser a máquina a mano, bordar ,y así ir desarrollando también mi trabajo en el arte objeto, cajitas,mascadas, bolsas, playeras, etc.plasmando mi obra en ellos. Tomé clases en La Casa de la Cultura en Puebla, El Barrio del Artista, con algunos profesores particulares.y de telar en San Marcos La Laguna. EL interés por la naturaleza, siempre marcó mi vida y mi obra. Estudié Agronomía en la facultad de Ciencias agrícolas en la Universidad de Veracruz (UV) campus Xalapa. Terminé mi carrera con una tesis sobre la producción de inóculo del Huitlacoche, siendo públicada por la UV.Me dediqué plenamente al Arte, pudiendo expresar así la creatividad interior que guardaba dentro, ya que mi contacto con arte estuvo pausado, por mi dedicación a la carrera.

El trabajo que fui realizando, lo he ido introduciendo en tiendas de decoración, y por encargos en Xalapa, Coatepec, Puebla, Ciudad de México, San Cristóbal de las casas, Guatemala y Barcelona. Mi obra se centra en plasmar la naturaleza, desde una forma profunda, capturando su esencia cósmica e invitando al espectador a compartir mi alegría. Los elementos que en ocasiones aparecen en mis piezas son formas geométricas que dan la impresión de telares, ya que también me han llamado la atención como una forma de comunicación visual ancestral. Jugando con estos factores para comprender mi entorno desde nuestras culturas, con sus formas y colores. Dentro de Las técnicas, el acrílico sobre lienzo y papel es mi predilecto,me parece muy versátil y me siento cómoda con su textura, en papel lo utilizo como acuarela. En la parte de arte objeto, también pinto con acrílico sobre madera. Hago diseños de estampado sobre papel, los escaneo y edito en la computadora, imprimiendolos y plasmándolos en la tela con la técnica de sublimación para luego realizar las prendas. Un agradecimiento a todas las personas que han creído en mí y me han alentado a seguir y así poder dedicarme a lo que más me apasiona.
