RAFAEL ESPITIA INTERVIEW:

 

Rafael Espitia es un reconocido pintor cartagenaero por sus murales, premios y gran trayectoria en la pintura. Es un artista que se deja seducir por la coquetería de los movimientos, las  curvas bien definidas de sus musas y las miradas enigmáticas de sus pícaras mujeres.

 

En su pintura refleja una alta sensibilidad hacia la belleza del cuerpo femenino, y se deja seducir de sus gestos y actitudes....

Area 23 Galeria’s Pop-Up Exhibit at the Key Biscayne Yacht Club

Key Biscayne art lovers gathered at the Key Biscayne Yacht Club on Saturday, March 19 for a one a of a kind pop-up exhibition by one of Wynwood’s hottest galleries, Area 23 Galeria. The gallery itself is not new, but it recently over went an extensive overhaul as it was purchased by prominent art collector, Alberto Linero . The gallery’s aesthetic has changed dramatically and is due for a revisit as Linero’s mission is to showcase the area’s hautest young contemporary art. Four of the artists from the previous collection have remained in the showroom as their works match that of new gallery’s.

 

The 15 colorful pieces on display featured art by Santiago Betancur, Rafael Espitia, Nelly del Rio, Leonardo Moleiro and Juliana Duque.
