This weekend the 1st "Modernist Autumn" Outdoor Painting Contest of Cartagena was held, with the participation of artists from all over the Region.
The organization has been in charge of the Cultural Association "Modernist Friends of Cartagena", one of the two modernist associations of the city that these days develop different cultural and festive activities around the recreation of the city's past in the late era from the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
Throughout the Sunday the participants of the contest were painting in the surroundings of the town hall, the port and the Heroes de Cavite square.
Numerous audiences and tourists came to see them work and enjoy the festive and multicolored atmosphere propitiated by dozens of members of the aforementioned Association who put on their best clothes, suits, hats and umbrellas.
The coordination of the contest was in charge of the artist Javier Lorente, a painter and international photographer from Cartagena, who was part of the jury, such as the painter Miguel Ángel Pagán Conesa and Salvador Torres, who is currently exhibiting with great success in Italy.
The theme of the works revolved around Cartagena and Modernism, and the participants painted different elements of the city's architecture and some period characters, being inspired, on occasion, by the members of the Modernist Friends themselves, dressed in costumes of that season.
The first prize went to the Inma de Goiri Cartagena, who received a diploma and a check worth € 300 from the President of the Association, Diego Capillo Baños.
The second prize, of € 200, went to a Belgian participant, Nadine Loes.
The youth prize, worth € 100, went to Nacho Bas Saura, from La Unión and the Accésit Infantíl went to Aissan Bouchenafa, with a prodigious drawing full of elements of the city and modernist references.
The finalists include Antonio Galindo Cruz, David Pujalte Villaverde, Manuela Costa Barrios, etc.
