As part of the
National Day of the Plastic Artist, the fourth edition of the pictorial exhibition of the Expressionarte
Foundation was inaugurated at the “Maturín
Corazón de Oriente” Art Gallery, dedicated this time to the cultor Romer Botini, recently
recognized as the Living Cultural Heritage of the Monagas state.
The founder of the Expressionarte project, Sandra Raygado, explained that this initiative seeks to promote local artistic talent and offer exhibition spaces for young creators from the Maturín municipality. At the same time, he specified that the exhibition includes works selected by a professional jury and has the support of the Casa de Cultura Inícita Aceituno, a note published by Venezolana de Televisión.
“
Because we have these spaces, we can provide students with a
platform. The idea is that each creation is exposed to the life of the
population that enjoys art,” said Raygado during the inauguration.
He also
highlighted that each edition pays homage to emblematic figures of
Monaguense culture, as part of a strategy to promote values such as
discipline, perseverance and artistic research among new generations.
Raygado recalled that in previous years Juvenal
Ravelo, Gualberto Ibarreto and the teacher José Fornes were honored, while this
edition recognized Romer Botini's career and cultural contribution within the Monagas state.
The exhibition will remain open to the
public as a space for the encounter with the plastic arts and the
strengthening of Eastern cultural identity.
