On 22 May from 15:00 to 18:00 hrs under a unified warm breeze from the South American skies, at Gallery Patries van Dorst in Wassenaar, Ambassador of El Salvador H.E. Ms. Aida Luz Santos, Minister Counsellor from El Salvador Embassy Agustin Vázquez Gomez, and Minister Counsellor from Cuba, Carlos Rodríguez Etcheverry, inaugurated Rodolfo Oviedo Vega (Salvador) and Alejandro Rodriguez Sardiñas (Cuba) vernissage.
Artist Oviedo also a traveler with a pair of suitcases packed of wonderful stories giving soul to his paintings, confessed to have toured from his native El Salvador to the heart of Chile to capture the earthy colours of nature before settling his atelier in Paris. Oviedo’s abstract images —as that of his artwork number 507 currently on display at Gallery Patries van Dorst—, portray messages of fond memories from his journeys throughout Europe and the world.
Oviedo’s paintings are mixed-media collages with materials that include sand, fabrics, coconut bark, banana leaves, and red wine. His artwork focuses heavily on the shape and design.
Artist Rodriguez Sardiñas artwork offers audiences a vivid, colourful interpretation of illusive landscapes from above the sky as that from a hot air balloon, or an airplane, long before today’s technology.
Such effect can be palpable is his artwork as that titled Holland, which was inspired by Amsterdam’s canals. Holland is part of current Patries van Dorst’s display. Rodriguez Sardiñas landscapes are full of life thanks to his personal technique that underlines the results of today’s encroachment on nature that gradually reclaims its rights.
Both artist’s exhibition will be on display until July 15 daily at Gallery Patries van Dorst on Landgoed de Wittenburg 3, 2244 BV in Wassenaar.
