Proyecto Dos - Colombian Painting Exhibition

Project under construction...
09-05-06
At the moment I am working on a new project for promoting Colombian artists.

The project consists of having one or several exhibitions with 5 Colombian painters in or including outside of the next Latin American festival. These five artists present pictorial works with a high pictorial quality which are each different from each other.
Four of them have been residing in Colombia and Maria Isabel Parra for 4 years in Hong Kong.

This initiative was conceived with the intention of continuing the idea of promoting Colombian fine art artists in Hong Kong. This work began last year with a first project Project One - Colombian Colours, which with the support of the Mayorship of Medellín, the consulate of Colombia in Hong Kong and GRULAC made possible their participation in the Hong Kong 2005 Latin America Festival.

Within the frame of Proyecto Uno - Colombian Colours, educative activities were carried out such as artistic workshops in two districts of limited resources in the city of Medellín, a guided visit to the exhibition of Proyecto Uno - Colombian Colours for students of the French International School, as well as a creative workshop which was carried out outdoors in Victoria Park, Hong Kong. Also two websites with the purpose of promoting the Colombian art are being constructed.

For the moment, we are waiting for some financial help from the Colombian Government to bring this project to life. So sponsors are welcome to support this new project, which also includes some artistic workshops for children in Medellin, Colombia. Also galleries, and cultural places are welcome to make part of this project. - Maria Isabel Parra

The artists:

Mari Rincón - Jorge Gutiérrez


Oscar Arango - Cecilia Carvajal

El primer país que visito luego de salir de Colombia fue Francia en 2001. Allí estudio en la alianza francesa y luego la universidad por algunos meses para estudiar el francés, antes de salir para Hong Kong, donde radica desde hace tres años y medio. Leer mas...

María Isabel Parra es una de las colombianas que han dejado el país en busca de nuevas oportunidades, pero todo el tiempo recuerdan sus raíces y tratan de mantener siempre presente todas las costumbres y cultura propias a pesar de la distancia. Leer más ...

Ingrid simbolo de la libertad

La memoria nos traiciona y es por eso que desde un tiempo hacia acá trato de registrar bien esos sucesos importantes que marcan mi alrededor. Y si bien la distancia permite que la memoria se altere, trato de hacer algunos ejercicios mentales para no perderla…no olvido el nombre de Ingrid Betancur, y no ignoro el problema socio-político que vive Colombia, no olvido este nombre por que soy conciente de esa imagen que simboliza a todos los secuestrados en mi país. Por que ese nombre simboliza de alguna manera a todos los secuestrados en el mundo. Por que ese nombre simboliza de alguna manera la libertad.
Memory betrays us and that is why for a while I have been trying to record those important events which have an impact on my surroundings. And although distance allows memory to change, I try to do some mental exercises not lose it, I don't forget the name of Ingrid Betancur, and I do not ignore/forget the sociopolitical problems that Colombia is experiencing, I do not forget that name because I am conscious of that image which symbolizes all the kidnapped people in my country. Because that name somehow symbolizes all the kidnapped people in the world. Because that name somehow symbolizes freedom.

My first lithograph class

Today I had my first lithograph class. It was in Cantonese, I just understood momentai – no problem…but sometimes we don’t need the words to understand those things we love…when Yung was just putting the colour on the glass…I felt the same as when I did my first engraving…I have always loved making lithographs…now it is going to be possible…Thanks Yung from HK Open Printing!!!
