Trezenzonio. Possible worlds, by Ilídio Salteiro

Mula, September 11, 2019

Title and author of the exhibition: Trezenzonio. Possible worlds, by Ilídio Salteiro.
Place: Rooms 1 and 2 of the Casa Pintada Foundation-Cristóbal Gabarrón Museum in Mula (Murcia)
Dates: From September 19 to December 8, 2019
Organized by: Casa Pintada Foundation-Cristóbal Gabarrón Museum and Cristóbal Gabarrón Foundation
Curators: Olga Rodríguez Pomares, doctor of Fine Arts from the University of Murcia and Juan García Sandoval, museologist, curator and art critic.

In Trezenzonio. Possible worlds, the artist has been inspired by the story of Trezenzonio, an Asturian monk who, according to an 11th century story, was able to travel to one of the islands of Paradise, the great Solstice Island. From this trip and, through his informal painting, but without losing the figuration, Salteiro shows us, in Rooms 1 and 2, mysterious compositions, full of light with intense colors that acquire a new expression.
