EXHIBITIONS

The headquarters of PDVSA-La Campiña is offering an exhibition called "Francisco de Miranda, una mirada a través del arte popular" (A Glance at Francisco de Miranda through Popular Art). In this exhibition, artists interpret Miranda’s image and heroic deeds. In the past, Miranda was not a usual subject in people’s works of art. The popular artists participating in the exhibition display Miranda’s image as the centerpiece of their reflection and aesthetic proposal. They depict Miranda either like a hero, a saint, or a supernatural human being and even a man hit by the miseries of derision and defeat.
 
Hotel Meliá Caracas is the setting for two exhibitions. "La Caravana de la Artesanía" (The Caravan of Crafts) is sponsored by the People’s Ministry of Culture and the Institute of Image and Space Arts (Iaime). This is a great opportunity to buy wonderful Venezuelan craftworks. This caravan has been visiting a number of places throughout Venezuela, both in small towns and large cities. This time it is displayed at Hotel Meliá Caracas.

The second exhibition is called "El Gran Vidrio del Caribe" (The Great Glass of the Caribbean), a work of architect Domingo Álvarez where the beauty of glass helps us reflect about the wonderful legacy of our Caribbean nature.

PDVSA’s Arts and Cultural Center La Estancia is hosting “Abra Solar: un camino hacia la luz” (Abra Solar: A Path into the Light). Alejandro Otero’s particular geometric abstractionism is in the spotlight of this exhibition. Otero’s works have exceeded the limits of plastic arts to gain an outstanding place among three-dimensional mega-structures. His are overwhelming poems made in steel and full of movement that are displayed in many important cities worldwide.

Also in PDVSA’s Arts and Cultural Center La Estancia, the so-called cultural oasis of Caracas, there is another exhibition: “Bolívar y Manuela” (Bolívar and Manuela). In this show, popular artists display their carvings and paintings perpetuating the legendary passion of two immortal lovers, The Liberator and his Liberator.

Finally, PDVSA’s Arts and Cultural Center La Estancia is displaying once again the exhibition “El Paisaje como Inspiración” (Landscape as a Source of Inspiration), including landscape paintings by Manuel Cabré, Rafael Monasterio, César Prieto, Armando Reverón and other great Venezuelan artists who are rediscovering the country’s towns, mountains, plains and coasts in their works full of light, color and life.
